[quote=Anonymous]It is obvious from these posts that you resent your DH's children and that you would prefer if they didn't exist and that your family acts as if they do not exist.  I am sure that these children have picked up on this negativeness.  This is a hole that you and your DH have dug.  It will take work to get out of it.  These children deserve their father's love, affection, time and attention just as much as the children you and your DH have together.  Saying that your DH was young and stupid to have these children doesn't change the fact that he is not young anymore and is capable of turning around his relationship- but it is more difficult to do it if you are setting up road blocks to this.

Try, please try, to see yourselves as one family not two separate families.  It sounds like your MIL sees this and is trying to make up for the deficits of her son.  I am glad these children have her looking out for them.

These are [i]children[/i].  You and your DH are the [b]adults[/b].  It is up to both of you to make things better.  If you don't want these children moving into your basement in a few years when they crash and burn - take the time now to build a healthier relationship.  [/quote]
