[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were your girlfriend, I would not tolerate this situation. [/quote]

And if I were your kids, I'd make dad pay for breaking up my home for the rest of his life.

You don't need a "girlfriend" now OP.  You have daughters who will be out of your house in about a year. Surely you can put your lovelife on hold until then, and give them the father they need before they go out on their own, believing that all men will eventually dump them and come up with a shiny new toy.[/quote]

He’s been divorced for 8 years. Come on. Very few people are going to live like monks or nuns for that long.[/quote]

Where does he say that? I don't think anyone's expecting celibacy. The question is why he needs his girlfriend to be spending time with his kids, at all. And also, what is the difficult situation mentioned in the original post?

The girlfriend is likely naive about teen behavior. Teens roll their eyes at everyone. It's not uncommon and you shouldn't be dating a divorced man if you can't handle it.

OP, you need to take seriously any legitimate complaint your kids may have. If the girlfriend is your AP they will never accept her. And if she's much younger than you, they will never accept her. And if she has unrealistic behavior expectations it will not go well.

You can get a new relationship but they can never have a re-do on an intact family. She will always be an interloper. They may stop being rude, but it will never be a normal family. Accept it.[/quote]

My tween and teen girls do not roll their eyes at anyone. [/quote]

Oh they do. There's a lot of stuff you don't see them do but they still do it. [/quote]

That’s the point - normal teens don’t openly sass people who are not their parents. These kids do.[/quote]

But they normally do get sassy about new partners after divorce. This is not just any random non-parent person! [/quote]
