[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I would think they don't like you, for several reasons.

1) Teens just don't really like adults that much.

2) You're trying to make them spend time with you and your kids, and they don't want to. It doesn't matter why they don't want to. You're trying to pressure and coerce them and they don't like being pressured and coerced.

3) You're planning to move in to their dad's house or have him give up his house and move in with you, so that they can't come home without seeing you and maybe your kids. So they are losing the peace of their home, and maybe the home itself, permanently. You think they don't know this, but they do, and they don't like it.

4) You are treating them like they are little and clueless or stupid, and that offends them. See above.

1.  Ok. Fine.  I agree.

2.  I don't make them do anything with me.  Our Spring Break overlapped in FLORIDA for one day and that's the last time they had to see us.

3.  My kids are younger so I am not planning on moving into their house and nor is their dad planning on moving into mine.  When everyone is grown and we RETIRE, we might move somewhere new together.  Don't a lot of people do that? That shouldn't be a threat.

4. I am not treating them like they are clueless.  Where do you get off projecting this much?????

2) But you're seeing them, just you, right? And they know perfectly well that you want to make them see your kids.

3) Okay, well they don't like that idea either. And you said in your original post that you are planning to live together when they are all in college which is about 5 years from now. So which is it?

4) They know what you want, stop acting like they don't. They absolutely do have something to feel "threatened" about.[/quote]
I am done arguing with you.  You have zero empathy and think you know everything based on your own life.   Have a good day.[/quote]

Best of luck coercing them into liking you! Happy blended holidays will surely follow.[/quote]
