[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are in the honeymoon period,

One positive kid interaction of surface politeness doesn't prove they will ever like it accept her long term.

I think you are discovering that it's far easier to maintain a relationship as the part-time parent of older kids than the full-time parent of younger kids. You're not necessarily a better partner, you just have an easier life and her expectations are lower because you aren't married.

OP here. I think you make very good points. You see parenting from your mom viewpoint. I may see it differently and I believe I fully participated. [/quote]

Maybe. But you didn't fully participate in the marriage. It's easier for you to be a good boyfriend to your girlfriend because your parenting workload is lower now. There are only so many hours in the day, you know? Also your girlfriend may not be judging you on the quality of your parenting or whether you do a fair share. It doesn't matter to her the way it would if she had a kid with you. So that lowers the pressure.[/quote]
