I have been a SM for about a year, SS 12 SD 9 yet I feel like this is just getting worse as it goes along.
At first yes it wasn't too bad, meeting them starting to get to know them but as time has gone on I've found myself separating myself from the situation trying to keep busy when their here. So they are very fussy eaters, will never try anything new and if I cook something ive made before that I know they like sometimes they say they don't like it and won't eat. If I don't have dinner done at a certain time all hell breaks loose and it's like I'm starving them to death but they never moan to me about it they go to their dad. They ignore me, even when my P is around, they will ask him questions to ask me. It's even worse when he's not in the house which is a fair bit as he works and he leaves them with me multiple times in the week, i will ask if their hungry and they will just say no all the time, but as soon as my P comes home the first thing they will say is their hungry and haven't ate like I've done it on purpose. Also SD stares at me all the time i can see her out of the corner of my eye. Sometimes she will just stand with her head poking round the door while im doing something it makes me so uncomfortable. These are just the main things there is also little other things that goes on aswell, has anyone ever experienced anything like this before?

One day the kids are living with mummy and daddy and the next day, daddy is living with his GF and they have to visit him there, apart from daddy is at work so they spend their time with the gf who they don’t like because she took daddy away from mummy.

Surely you can see that this ⬆️ is how his kids feel?

He should live alone and see his kids on his own and you can date him if you wish.

They need to leave!!

MounjaroOnMyMind · 11/04/2025 10:53

So he moved in and promptly went out, leaving you to look after his kids?

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/04/2025 10:58

Bloody hell. You need to get them out. Did writing that not make you realise how extremely fucked up it all is?!

How much is he paying you to accommodate all 3 of them, cook and feed them, for the childcare you’re doing while he swans off to work?

@HellonHeelsi bloody hope not, everything he said has added up so I doubt it very much

Bloody hell @M2p

So he hasn't ever had his own place, just jumped straight into yours. I'd put money on the fact you were the OW without realising it. He was lining you up for his next sevice human to facilitate his needs.

What are you thinking?? you are being used for accommodation, child care and sex! this guy is playing you for a fool.

Now I really feel sad for those kids, they truly have a terrible dad. He is not a good father in anyway OP. He doesn't actually seem to care much what anyone else thinks.

M2p · 11/04/2025 11:00

@MounjaroOnMyMind basically yeah

@AnneLovesGilbert I do yes, he does contribute

Move him out op. He wants a nanny! No way you should be putting up with this.

isthesolution · 11/04/2025 11:07

Unfortunately you’ve jumped in too quickly.

Firstly tell him you don’t feel in a position to look after his children so please only arrange to have them if he is here. Secondly ask him if he can possibly plan meals when they are at your home as you find in difficult. Try to engage with them as much as you can - offer to help with homework, play a game or watch a movie with them to build up a relationship.

If that doesn’t help then you need to tell him that unfortunately it isn’t working how you’d hoped and he will have to find his own home!

This situation will get worse the longer it goes on. You need to act now.

MounjaroOnMyMind · 11/04/2025 11:08

@isthesolution The solution isn't to ask him gently - this man is taking huge advantage of the OP and she needs to tell him to move out again.

Buttonsbuttons · 11/04/2025 11:13

@M2p

Are you taking onboard the comments from posters?

How do you feel given that its pretty unanimous?

M2p · 11/04/2025 11:15

@Buttonsbuttons I am and I do know that I need to get out of this relationship, I appreciate everyone that has commented

Phew! thank goodness you're not sticking your head in the sand.

Look, you sound like you did your best with the kids but honestly getting their dad to stand on his own two feet and spend time with them might be much better in the long run. So you're doing the right thing all round.

Does he have somewhere he can go?

MrsSlimShady · 11/04/2025 11:25

HE’S USING YOU

Jesus, he’s got a roof over his head, someone cooking and looking after his kids and got them with him so he doesn’t have to pay maintenance.

He’ll dump you as soon as his kids no longer need a nanny.

Give him a weeks notice to leave.

M2p · 11/04/2025 11:27

@Buttonsbuttons I have no idea, but I would give him notice first

LazyArsedMagician · 11/04/2025 11:27

You're just a bangmaid to him. His kids don't like you, he doesn't seem to like you other than for what you can provide.

If you don't feel comfortable just kicking him out, I think you need to have a conversation that he needs to see his kids elsewhere because they don't like or respect you, and it's unfair to expect you to have sole care of them, ever. Either he is there while they are, or he sees them somewhere else. Hopefully he'll do the right thing and move out.

spoiler alert - of course he won't

So be prepared for him to not go without a fight.

He's literally got his feet under the table at your house so probably won't give that up easily.

You'll get sob stories, pleading and emotional blackmail. Have a plan to deal with it.

Does he have a temper? could he become aggressive do you think?

M2p · 11/04/2025 11:31

Wow, funny thing he's just messaged me saying SS is coming to stay the night tonight. We have them every sat and alternatively Fridays, tonight is not our week. He's at work all day tomorrow and I have plans to meet my friend!

@Buttonsbuttons he does have a temperature but I don't think he would get aggressive

So now's your chance to start pushing back and laying the ground for getting out of this.

Text him back and ask him who will look after DSS because you won't be there and he's working.

His response will tell you what you need to know.

MounjaroOnMyMind · 11/04/2025 11:38

Both he and his ex are treating you like childcare. Can you go off to a friend's house for the weekend? Surely someone has an emergency!

M2p · 11/04/2025 11:41

@thepariscrimefiles when I was reading that it was like I had wrote it! Even some of the problems she put i have also! And I feel like that is how he would react, not that it would upset me though

@MounjaroOnMyMind to be honest one of my friend has told me I can go stop in her caravan whenever I want too but I just haven't got the money too go otherwise I would be straight there
