BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids I am furious!!

Going away for the weekend would be a great idea, except for the fact that I can't even go to my bedroom and watch a movie without him getting [censored]. I am supposed to be 'interacting' with his spawn while they are here. 'Stepping up', as he calls it.

Well then like I said, time for an ultimatum. Because he doesn't own you. They're HIS kids and he doesn't like how you are with them? Then you're not WITH them. He can't have it both ways.

I think you may have a point, Myrabeth.

One small thing, though - I think DLEE mentioned earlier that her husband moved in with her, so I think it's his bags she should be packing! He will just have to find an alternative venue for entertaining his precious darlings.

That is correct Manatee. He did move into MY house. That is what is so ironic about this whole mess. He is such an arrogant a**hole. I'm sure he will be gone soon.

BTW, I want to thank everyone for your responses and support. I really need to vent about this until it is over.

Then I think that it really should be "my way or the highway." He can take his kids somewhere for the weekend. I would say that they are no longer allowed in your house.

I agree with Ingilbert.

Me too.

Sorry to say it, but I'm with everyone else on this. If he won't discipline them in your home, then you will. If he doesn't like it, take his advice and "butt out" - just don't be there. This is YOUR home, and if they come into your space they learn to play by your rules, regardless of what sort of s**t they pull on their parents.

HE had children. YOU did not. Therefore, it is HIS problem. He's clearly stated that he doesn't want your help, so he doesn't get it. I'd take lng's advice and just go away for relaxing weekends by yourself, until he gets the bloody hint!

This is why I refuse to date men with children. It's just way, way too hard ...

I think I recall DLEE saying she did that once and came home to broken furniture and stuff. Right?

I say pack his bags, put them outside, and change the locks.

At this point, he won't listen to her. His opinion is the only one that matters to him. Time to say with actions since he won't listen to the words.

If the house is still in your name (not joint property), all I have to say is:
WOOHOOO! You won't be spending all your free time preparing for a move, so you'll have more time to hang out here! (And we're definitely more fun than packing or putting up with a "perfect" parent.)

Introduce that man to the curb and get started on living a happier life. You deserve it.
