[quote=Anonymous]If she is truly asking them about their problems and issues with you I'd be angry, quite frankly. You are very secure to not be threatened and generous toward this woman. That's admirable. If I were you I'd tell the kids that they need to be civil and nice to her, but if they want privacy, they're 1 and 4 years away from being adults so they can try doing what a grown up would do: say "it's been nice talking with you, I'm going to do..." or something to that effect. It's possible they do like her but feel off about her manner and feel as if it threatens you, and they're doing what they can to tell her they love her. Kind of like how everyone complains about their MIL to their own mom, even if they like the MIL. The last thing a 14 and 17 yo with a good mom need is a stepmom to be a "mom." They just need stepmom to be nice and fairly cool and engaged. But they don't need a mom - maybe she doesn't get that. I assume she has no kids?[/quote]
