Since I began a relationship with their father they acuse their father of not spending enough time with him…the ex wife sends nasty emails about how is neglecting his kids…he calls them at least once a week, takes them out for lunch and his daughter always calls with her problems…if she needs money he is always willing to help..I believe it his daughter who is bad mouthing him to the ex. I feel like my partner is giving so much (within reason) these are 28 and 25 year olds….I get so frustrated about all this because they don’t really accept me and I think they just want their Dad all to themselves. Should I talk to the daughter about this??

Been there.
Great advice…I am taking it…thank you!! Iris
I walk a fine line with my adult step daughters. I am 10 years older than his oldest daughter. They (3) are all women in their 40′s. I’m pleasant, polite, and distant. In 15 years I have never felt part of their family.
No fighting, no anything. I often visit with their families with their Dad, but after 15 years of them I just decided they aren’t my fav people and maintain my respectful distance.
thank you, I will too try to maintain my respectful distance!! Iris
thank you…I appreciate your advice…and I am now walking a fine line…cheers, Iris
