[quote=Anonymous]How long have you been married and how long ago did their mom die? If the three of them operated as a "unit" for awhile making all of their decisions together, they may not realize that they should be including you and your dd in some of these decisions as well. That being said, if his kids have always played soccer on the weekends for years, it may not be reasonable for you and your dd to expect them to quit playing soccer so that you all can do something as a family on a Saturday afternoon. Maybe you all have a Friday movie night instead. Or Sunday dinner. Or bond over school breaks with great vacations if that is an option. And maybe you and your dd don't have to go to every soccer game (or whatever sport it is) if she is bored and the two of you do something else that she likes to do. I'm sure it is really hard for all of you and it sounds like you want to do your best. A good counselor may help sort it all out. Good luck![/quote]
