[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a wonderful BF with an extreme "golden uterus" ex-wife; Loudoun Co. type. I've never met the woman and I am not the first woman he dated since his divorce 5 years ago. However, I am the first woman he is dating seriously and apparently it is a problem for her. I stay out of the "parenting" issues and pretty much ignore any of her devious behavior towards me. If she oversteps her boundaries in regards to me, I let my BF deal with it. Any advice from DC ladies?[/quote]

Wait, wait, wait a minute.  You are engaged.  The kid lives with you.  And you "stay out of the parenting issues"?  How is that physically possible?

I was giving OP the benefit of the doubt, but I'm now on board with either a) troll or b) 17 year old.[/quote]

It is physically possible as I am not a parent of this child/my future step-daughter/kid. The child has a mother and a father and it's the father's job to be a parent, since she lives with him. I can certainly provide advice and I do.....when solicited. [/quote]

What is your relationship like w/the child?  Do you do *any* parenting-type stuff, like making dinner, homework, getting ready for bed, getting ready for school in the AM? Or do you just hang out and play on your phone until she goes to bed and then you get alone time w/your bf?[/quote]

I do make dinner most of the nights unless I am working late, which is rare. Lots of after school activities going on, so it's easier if I get the dinner going, while father drives to/from activities. I help with homework when asked and provide advice on friends, what to wear, world opinions, and such. Father works from home, so he usually makes b-fast for everyone to get us out of the door. We're talking about a teenager which makes own lunch and father puts to bed. But the issue is the ex really, we're good in terms of our interactions....father/child/me.[/quote]
