What’s your partners relationship with your children?

My son is 7 and he’s known my partner for 3 years. He always wants to wrestle and muck about with my other half which is fine but I’ve to deal with the consequences when it goes too far.

Basically I’m the bad one 🙈 I feel especially during this lock down I work, my other half is off and getting paid. My son sees my ex everyday as we either do days and nights with childcare with each other. When my sons is with me it’s bloody hard. My fiancé won’t take part in telling him off on occasions which is fine but I’m struggling on my own. He plays with him gets him hyper and I’ve to fight/argue and stop my boys meltdown...

Just another quarantine rant 😂fml......

Sounds exhausting... but you are lucky your son and fiancé like each other.. if they hated each other trust me it would be a lot worse!

I would imagine the time will come when he will have to tell your son off (when you aren’t there and he has no choice maybe?)

Yes he does often tell him no but equally teases him all the time and I’ve to bring him down off the ceiling! 🙈😂 I’m exhausted I can’t wait for the schools to be open again
