[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who is dating a divorced dad of two teen boys....this makes me sad. I’m wondering what I can do to avoid having similar dynamics develop? His kids are polite to me which is about the best I hope for as I think it’s hard for people to like their parent’s partner.[/quote] Encourage your boyfriend to spend time with his kids WITHOUT you. It doesn't need to be all the time, but definitely make an effort to allow that to happen. If you are glued to their dad, it will effect their relationship with him. If you move in with the dad, also try to sometimes step back and let them be a family of 3 *sometimes* without getting your panties in a bunch.[/quote] THIS! Please make sure dad gets a lot of independent time with his kids. It is so important and his kids will appreciate you more[/quote]
