[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - I think I am just feeling like my life is now dictated by 2 Tweens.....I thought my H and I would be making these decisions together as parents versus me just being told - this is what the kids want to do - so we are doing it. I feel like there should be some compromise from someone besides just me in this family.....I wanted a blended family....to make joint decisions for the good of all of us....not just the older kids. I want some control over our life and a say in planning our weekends or time or events.,or how our money is spent. I feel like I come last. So maybe all parents feel this way - kids make the plans. Or do husbands and wives of joint biological child make these decisions together and consider each other's needs/opinions?[/quote] Lol [b]kids definitely do NOY make the plans. I have four kids, and the kids can announce what they'd like to do, but my boyfriend and I talk it over and let them know as a united front what we decided when we talked about AWAY from the kids.[/b] [/quote] +1000[/quote]
