[quote=Anonymous]PP stepmom, PP ex-wife here. Maybe you could give my ex's new squeeze lessons on how to handle it. I brought up my experience because I have heard how my ex's fiancee frames the situation to outside people, and it's basically "Ex-wife won't stop coming into the house, ex-wife does not respect my space, etc." I actually really support their relationship (both because from what I know, she is a good match for him and also because generally speaking, my life is easier when he is in a relationship as he is more stable then), but if she cannot adjust and join the club of cordial politeness that the rest of us have (I am remarried - my husband has never been anything but welcoming to my ex when he's needed to stop by for some reason), it's going to be difficult to have happy family relations. She officially moved in in December, so my hope is that things smooth out this spring. In any case, I think that the OP could stand to work on being less annoyed by something she apparently can't change. Teenagers are not notorious for getting along well with step-parents, and escalating the issue is a pretty solid way to damage those relationships, which I assume are important to the OP.[/quote]
