[quote=Anonymous]Girlfriend of dad of teenagers: please remember you are essentially a stranger to these kids. How would you feel if you went to your home, your haven, your private place, where you can be yourself and relax with your family, and there was a stranger sitting in the middle of it. That would probably make you pretty uncomfortable, right?

If their "rudeness" when their father leaves the room consists of sitting silently or scrolling on their phones - uh, yeah. No kidding. Why should they have to talk to you? They didn't ask for you to be there. This is different from interacting with a teacher, or a grocery store clerk, or even a distant relative who occasionally visits. You are a stranger who is in their space and they do not want you there. Any attempt by you to engage with them on anything other than their terms is aggressive and inappropriate. You are there to spend time with their father; do that, but leave the kids alone.

Sauce: would hide in my room any time my stepmom was home but my dad wasn't, and I know it bothered her. I'm a nice, polite, professional person. But the level of discomfort I felt being around her as an introvert who just wanted to be left alone was astronomical. [/quote]
