[quote=Anonymous]I feel sad for your kids. Teenagers are relatively self reliant. Are they behaved or are they bratty kids who don’t clean up after themselves? Is your spouse an inherently self-centered and needy person? If not, then I’d recommend some soul searching and conversing with your husband. Something like “I sense you’re annoyed when my kids are around. Without me judging, can you tell me what about them is troubling? I want to work on addressing any behaviors or habits they seem unreasonable.” I know a divorced mom whose teenage sons are so bratty and rude. Don’t pick up their dishes, talk back to grownups, mistreat their mom. It’s really hard to watch as a friend who cares about their mom. Maybe your husband feels similarly. Or maybe he’s a selfish jerk. We just don’t have enough info to make a proper assessment. [/quote]
