BS doesn't like H2B

proud mom's picture

Help, 10yr old bs told me yesterday that he doesn't like h2b and doesn't want us to get married. He thinks it should just be me, him and his little brother forever. He doesn't want a step dad or step sister. I am floored I don't know what to think or how to deal with this. They get along great the romp and wrestle aroung the house, they play games and basketball together, he throws baseball or football with him, helps him with homework he even just helped him with a class project that his dad was suppose to do over the weekend and didn't it was due 2 days later dad said he just couldn't think of anything to do. H2b helps provide for him and his brother they never go with out they have everything they need and almost everything they want, except a PS3(he has a ps2 and a psp) a new 4 wheeler(he has a suzuki 80) and Dish network in his room(can't do that unless I put it in the other 2 kids rooms also and I can't afford that) I don't understand how daddy is the greatest and he doesn't like h2b and sometimes wishes he lived with daddy. Ok so we have rules and he has chores at home but if he does them he gets an allowence. Daddys house is all fun and games hell he is only there everyother weeekend and they don't do anything but sit in front of a video game or tv all weekend. Maybe he does like h2b but doesn't want dad to know because dad doesn't and he doesn't want to hurt his feelings. I also know that dad talks bad about me and h2b in front of bs making us look bad. I don't say anything about ex in front of bs he will find out on his own how his dad is (I hope)
H2b and I were going to elope in the next month and now I don't know what to do???????
Any comments or opinons would be greatly appreciated

Most children including my Skids would prefer that the Mom and Dad stay together. I think your son will have to adjust. It is the same way with my Skids. The mother is the fun one and we are the work parents because all of our money goes into taking care of the household. The mother does very little to support the kids and she is more concerned with being the "cool" parent so she has none of the real responsibilites so she can afford theme parks and fun stuff. Well someone has to be the parent. The important thing is that your h2b seems to have a good attitude with your son and what he thinks and how he treats your son is more the decision making factor. Your son shouldn't make that decision for you. I would not condone your ex saying bad things about you in front of your son. Your son needs to learn that you guys aren't about having to entertain him 24/7.

I was begining to feel selfish for wanting to be happy. But you are right he is just going to have to adjust and I think he will in time. Hopefully he will wake up and see the true side to his Dad until then I guess I will continue to be the mean one lol. He did finally tell me if marring h2b will make me happy then he is ok with it. What a kid!!!

Most kids will adjust. I tell my Skids that divorce just made their family bigger and gave them more people who love them. They have had a tough time with their Mom leaving the country and basically abandoning them. They needed to know it is ok to love BOTH your H2B and their Dad as well as loving the BF and whomever he may marry. Their BM wants to be selfish and just get them to love her and her husband which I think is childish and hurtful to the children. These kids have a huge capacity to love more than just the Bios.
