We have had DSD and DD here all week. They go home tonight.
Today it was arranged that DP would take my sons and DSS to the cinema to see a rubbish boy film and I would take DSD on a girls shopping trip as she didn't want to see it. DPs best friend went to the cinema with them and his GF came shopping with us.
About an hour ago I got a call from DPs friend saying that my DS had started feeling I'll during the film and cried so he took him out for a walk and he asked to call me. I asked where DP was and he is still watching the film.
DS knows DPs friend well and they get on so I don't have a problem with him taking DS out but why the F**K did my DP stay watching the film and leave his mate to look after my DS?
DPs friend said he would sit with my DS til the film ended and I told him I would refund his ticket. He is so nice he said its OK not to worry.
I have put up with so much shit fom his kids this week. ONE DAY I want him to be a stepdad to my kids and he passes the buck to his mate.
If we had all gone to the cinema and his DD had felt ill we would have all had to come home but as long as his DC are OK he doesnt give a stuff about mine.
I'm fuming!!!!

"Why did I fall for someone with kids? :("

I find this a rather odd comment given you have children of your own. Confused

Soup - sorry I should rephrase that as its not the kids that are the problem ...
Why didnt I fall for someone who makes as much effort with my kids as he does with his own?
Or
Why did I fall for a Disney dad who can't even discipline his dc and expects me to be their step mum while keeping my own reasonably well behaved kids at arms length??

I agree with you Kaluki. I'd be really cross. I think DP has not done the right thing here. If ALL the kids knew DP's friend, he should have stayed in the cinema and your son could have been brought home.

Thank you Eliza.
I have calmed down now. DP is making more effort and has even agreed to decorate the kids room next!!
The DSC are here again this weekend so here's hoping for a peaceful one!!
