Hello, I'm a bloke, not sure if I'm allowed on Mumsnet or not but need to get stuff off my chest!
The background, daughter is 14, son nearly 17. Been divorced for one month. I've been living away from their mum for over four years and the kids live with me and have no interaction (or extremely minimal) with their mother who's alcohol dependant.
I have been in a new relationship for two years and my daughter just cant accept it and we have a constant running battle.
She's constantly rude to me and despite saying she wants to spend time with me doing father daughter things, whenever I offer to do something (several times as week!) She gives me the cold shoulder and just sits in her room night after night. If I decide to go out on one of these nights when I'm sat on my bum on my own in the living room, she'll kick off again, yet she's had the opportunity to sit with me, watch a film, go to the shops!
I just can't win whatever i do!!!!!
Anyone else have these issues?!
