Not Sure This SM Thing Will Work :(

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 2 years. I totally knew it was a package deal when we got together, but this is just getting worse every day. I dread the weekends his 2 boys come over to stay with us. They are so disrespectful to him and most of the time act as I don't exist. They are 5 & 10 and I think at that age they should be able to pick up after themselves and not cry about everything. I know that I have a choice in this situation, I'm not married to their dad, but would love to be someday, I'm just not sure I want to be a SM to 2 bratty kids. Their mom totally spoils them, shows her love with things instead of time. She's crazy and has threatened to call the police on me just for being in the same house as her kids. I know that they are just kids, but at some point someone needs to do something about their behavior, stomping around the house, slamming doors, was never acceptable when I was growing up. I thought once we started taking them to church that they might be better, but nothing has changed. I'm considering moving out and getting my own apartment just because of them. My friends all tell me to move on, but I love my boyfriend and just don't know what to do anymore. I hate feeling like a horrible person for not getting along with 2 kids. I know from my growing up that I hated all my moms boyfriends, so I guess why should it be any different, but there is a difference, I'm a nice person and those guys were creepy, alcoholic, users. Ugh, I'm at my wits end.

Your BF needs to step up and correct their behavior. Unless HE does, nothing will ever change, in fact, it will only get worse as they grow up and are allowed to continue to be disrespectful to you. Perhaps your moving out into your own apartment for a while might prompt him to be a better parent in order to get you back.

It isn't gonna get any better, the little monsters are only going to get older. Its bad enough dealing with one....but you have 2 to deal with.

RUUN!!! I thought I would be ok having kids around every other weekend but life happens. Now husband and I have full custody and I can't stand it. I'm depressed. I'm stressed. Confused... the list goes on. I know you love him but if I had a do over I would have ran.
