His child


Comments (1)

I am posting this topic to receive as much relationship advice as I can. I have been involved with a man for 6 months now, he was an ex cop but left the force in order to take care of his child full time & I had taken on the immediate role of an unofficial step mum position to his 5… year old son. His son is a lot to handle, he demands constant attention if not from his father than everyone else around him.

Whilst I understand young children may be like this, the man who was my partner has recently walked out on me just yesterday. He packed all their belongings & left. All because I asked him to show me some form of affection. I felt neglected as though I was non existent. I do not think a man who claims he loves a woman should make her feel like she would have to compete with a young child for his attention.

I am not jealous of his child, nor would I ever expect him to ignore his child for me, as I know he would be his priority, I simply hoped he would hear my cry & see to my needs as well. He clearly does not know how to balance a girl friend in his life with his son, so I do not know what I am supposed to say to him to help him realize that women need to feel special also & let him know how he can go about dividing his attention between two people.

Discipline a Boy


Comments (1)

Need relationship advice on the best way to discipline a 10 year old boy that is always getting into trouble at school, daycare and home! We have tried, restriction, taking away things that he likes to do, making him clean all kinds of things around the house, writing sentences, doing more homework, I cannot even remember all of the things that we have tried!

Boyfriend's Son


Comments (3)

I am currently dating a man who has a 13 year old son from a previous relationship. He is a good dad for the most part, and the 3 of us get along great! However, when it comes to disciplining his son, it just doesn’t happen. His son is used to being spoiled, and getting away with everything. It’s more like his son is the parent, and my boyfriend is the child. Know what I mean? Recently his son was caught stealing and my boyfriend put his son on restriction. However, he still allowed him to go to his moms house where he knew that she would let him do whatever he wanted. The only reason he went to his moms is so he could play with his friends anyway. My boyfriend tells me that he can’t keep him from seeing his mom, however the only time his mom is in his life is when she wants something from my boyfriend. Like money or whatever. Anyway, my point is, that my boyfriend absolutely will not step up and discipline his son the way I think he should. Like restriction without the benefit of being able to go outside and play, or playing video games, etc. But because I’m not the biological parent, my boyfriend thinks that I shouldn’t have a say in disciplining his son. My boyfriend and I currently live together, have made plans to get married, and having children of our own. We are very serious in our relationship. So, do I have a right or a say in disciplining his 13 year old son?
