[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In front of you?

My boyfriends teenage sons are fairly polite and civil to me in front of him.

They are much less nice to me when he is around.

Which feels very….manipulative.

I haven’t decided yet if it’s a deal breaker [/quote]

Oh big typo sorry

They are much LESS nice to me when he IS T around. Curt one word answer, unpleasant facial expressions. Nothing solid I can report to my boyfriend but just a very unfriendly vibe.

I did not meet my boyfriend until two years after the divorce so no I am not the AP[/quote]

Curt one word answers sounds like how teens treat their actual parents.

Unpleasant facial expressions?  From immature teenage boys?  Report it to Guinness Book![/quote]

Well yeah. But it’s kinda weird that they know to be nicer to me when their dad is around, but when he is not around, they are rude to me. I mean I guess that’s a good sign he’s told the, or they know they have to be polite in front of their dad. But it feels weird to have them be ok when dad is around and rude when he isn’t.[/quote]

they aren’t being rude - they are being teens. they are making an extra effort around their dad - possibly because they are more comfortable with him around, and possibly because HE is better at communicating with them. you’re the grown-up, it’s your job to draw them out (famously difficult for all teen boys) and to be tolerant. but yeah, go ahead and complain to their dad about their “facial expressions.” that’s a really promising move and I’m SURE that lecturing the boys that they need to plaster fake smiles on their faces is going to be a GREAT step in your relationship with them.
