Here's the deal...Met my current girlfriend while separated and at the time she had two boys from a previous marriage and a 6 month girl from a deadbeat former boyfriend.

well here we are now and alot as changed from when we first met. My girlfriends stepdad was diagnosed with cancer and was asked to move back in with her parents to help out with bills. Her daughter sleps in the same room and she gets her boys 3 days a week. The little girl is a absolute pain. She whines till she gets what she wants, she's allowed to destroy everything i've bought for her mom and she is up until 1 in the morning. I stay over once a week and it's about all I can handle. I leave for work early in the morning and the little girl takes up all of our time and eventually I have to give up and go to sleep. Her mom disciplines her, but not nearly enough to let her know that something was wrong...it's too the point she gives in after yelling at her and then offers her anything to make her happy and stop crying...do you need a cookie? do you need juice? do you need candy....keep in mind this happens around midnight usually.

To top it off, my girlfriend has been referring to me as "da-da" to her and that's how she addresses me. I've bit my tongue for a long time because I do realize that she is the mom and will raise her kids just as I have done with my 3 girls who were raised in a totally different style. My girlfriend keeps talking of our "brady bunch" but it's a constant pain seeing how she deals with her daughter and us not getting the alone time that I think is reserved for adults past 9 o'clock!.....now that my divorce is final it's starting to make me not even want to be around and causing tension
