I am a bio mom of 2 and step mom of 1. ages very 13 and 8. MY bf and I have been together for 2 yrs and lived to gether for 1. We had a conversation and he proceeded to tell me that he feels that my children are disrespectful little pigs!! Wow did that ever through me for an emotional loop. Maybe I am not seeing what he does, but I know from talking and watching all they want is approval from him. Almost like they are dying to have a relationship that isin't going to be there I feel sometimes. but do not make that apparent to my children.
