kaz Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I have 2 children, a daughter aged 17yrs and a son aged 14yrs, my partner has 2 sons aged 12yrs and 4yrs. My partners kids come to stay every weekend and visit on a Wednesday, so its pretty hectic especially at the weekend. The 3 boys all share my sons room, which till recently he didnt mind, until the youngest started snoring really loudly! Now I often get up to find my son asleep on the couch. The real problem is the ex wife! Shes now trying to take my partner to court for neglect as we cant have them stay for a week. Shes very bitchy at the best of times and after a series of events over the last 2 years, I am at the end of my tether with the whole situation! I have bent over backwards to accomodate the children and make them feel at home (which they do), at the expense of my daughter falling out with me for 6 months because I moved her into a smaller room. I have to consider my kids aswell, my son has now taken to staying out at a friends all weekend to get a decent sleep! Does any1 out there have similiar problems? Link to post Share on other sites
Bubbles Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hi Kaz, Do you and your partner live together? I had the same situation happen to me with my ex b/f. His son would come and stay with us on the w/ends. My son was very happy to "share" his bedroom with him at first, but then it did become inconvenient to him and I reccognized it. So I told my b/f (at that time) that he would have to take his child and spend the week-ends at his parents house until things worked themselves out. About the snoring situation.....this has become an inconvenience to your son and he should not suffer nor should anyone else. What are the possibilities that a make-shift b/room could be made for this young lad in the living/room or in the basement of your house? My remedy was to remove the child but that was because of his poor attitude not because of snoring. Good for you to recognize this situation with your own child. Too many women teach their children to submit to the b/friends wants because "Mommy" loves him and wants this to be a good relationship and the children just want Mommy to be happy.
