Am I wrong

[STEPPARENTCOX]

Hi
I have a stepson who's 12 He comes to stay with his Dad and me fortnightly
My question is how much time should they spend together?
They spend nearly all day playing the PlayStation or darts or pool or watching football then at night because the stepson doesn't have his own room they sleep in our summerhouse
Am I wrong for thinking that isn't normal or am I being selfish?

He sleeps outside..in a summerhouse?

They only spend 1 day a fortnight together? They should be spending far more than that together.

If you’re suggesting 1 day a fortnight is “too much” then you’re incredibly selfish.

Ignoring the fact they sleep in the summer house, you have your partner to yourself 13 days out of 14. Let them have this day, in fact, increase it if you can. It’s not enough.

Are ther3 other children in the home, or do you only reside in a 1 bed property?!
Because he only sees his Dad once a fortnight, I'd say they spend as much time together as possible!!!

1 day/night a fortnight isn't enough time.

If you're pissed off because its too much then you're being selfish.

Why does the poor kid have to sleep in the summer house?

Yes I think if one day a fortnight then it's nice to do a day's activities. If you're feeling left out maybe you could join in for a movie or dinner but I'd also use it as a chance to do your own thing, get your hair done, see friends etc. if the summerhouse is comfy I think that's ok especially if there is nowhere else for him to sleep?

Yes, if your husband child has to sleep outside in a garden room, his should 100% be going with him. Can't believe that's a question!

Only seeing his child every two weeks, they should be spending all that time together too.

On what grounds? You may not like the posters views, but I don’t think she has broken any guidelines with her post?

What's wrong with ss, sleep on a sofa or an air bed?

Yes your wrong

You’re right, it’s not normal. They should be doing this 3-4 days a week, but sleeping inside an actual house instead

It’s very strange to have a house with only one bedroom and no room for your partners child, and they have to sleep in a glorified shed instead

To clarify it's 2 nights every other weekend and they choose to sleep out there

Yes because he wants to so he can stay up late playing darts til 2am

Why would you assume anything about the home i live in?
You don't know me

Did I say I have 1 bedroom?

you said "My question is how much time should they spend together?" @STEPPARENTCOX

For 2 days every other weekend, his son should spend every waking moment with his Dad.

Are you selfish? Do you really need to ask!

eta; what is it about the current arrangement that's troubling you? @STEPPARENTCOX

Would you like to come and drive him to school for us on those days? It's 30 miles away

He likes to sleep in the shed with his Dad
I thought it was odd but clearly given all the abuse I'm getting, it's not

Thank you for giving me a normal reply
I honestly don't know what is normal
My grown up boys weren't like this with their Dad

It is odd to sleep in a shed.

could the difference be that your sons Dad lived with them?

No he didn't
