[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dad here. I have two daughters, 17 and 18, who are good kids but not exactly warm toward my girlfriend. There’s been eye-rolling, mocking, and some rude comments, and my girlfriend  of 1.5 yos feels like they’re being mean to her. She’s said she needs a break from the situation because it’s been really hurtful for her.

My view has been that they’re teenagers dealing with a complicated situation, and I’ve been inclined to let things slide rather than turn it into a bigger conflict. I don’t think they’re bad kids, but I also don’t want to force anything or escalate things with them.

I’m looking for some perspective on how to balance giving my daughters grace while also being fair to my girlfriend and her feelings.

Your kids are acting rude and mean. You as their dad need to tell them this behavior is not tolerated. I'm disturbed you think it's fine.

You are allowing them to be rude and mean to your GF. She has too much self respect for herself to accept this. Too bad you don't agree. I'd dump you if I were her. You don't deserve her. [/quote]
