Am I overreacting?

I’m sorry but your man needs to step up and set some boundaries. Hw should absolutely have your back and y’all’s kids. None of that is ok.

Im gathering the grandparents are irrelevant, it’s dad that isnt treating his kids the same. Bet my kids dont go anywhere where only 1 or 2 of them are welcomed. Get out now before they all mess your kids up.

You’re not over reacting, the kids will end up divided because of this too, he should definitely be sticking up for his kids jus not fair for them at all.

All of the kids should be accepted. No child should ever be left out and Any adults doing this should be ashamed of themselves. Please don’t keep subjecting your children to this. If you’ve talk to him and told him many times how it isn’t right and he still doesn’t see a problem with it then chances are he isn’t going to change.

Why would u want to be around people that don’t treat your or your children right. Throw the whole family out including your boyfriend. He clearly doesn’t have you or your children’s best interest at heart

Ummm fuck that. And F your boyfriend for not defending you or insisting you be included. You and ALL your kids are his family now. You all come first.

First of all. Why ain’t you married? If he isn’t man enough to step up then it’s time to move on out of his way and find someone who will accept you and your children

No you’re not over reacting. The fact that you guys have two babies together and his family isn’t including y’all is sickening. Those are their grandbabies!!! Why wouldn’t they wanna see their own grandchildren?? Leave that man

Since he refuses to put them in their place, he can live with them in it. Do NOT accept this disrespect, not only from them, but from him. This has been ongoing and he’s never set the boundary because he doesn’t care to. Stop having kids with the boi.

Your not over reacting! I went through this exact issue with my two youngest kids. My boyfriend’s older kids got everything from the grandparents, but because the grandparents didn’t like me the kids I had with their son didn’t matter. We are no longer together and I wrote a letter to the grandparents telling them not to ask for pictures of the kids or anything else as they will not be getting them. The father does not see the kids now either. You and your kids would be alot better off without the paternal side of the family.

His family already decided for him and he’s accepting it. It’s totally wrong and if he can’t see it then it’s time for you to move on. Idk how you’re letting this keep going

No your not overreacting, your boyfriend should have spoken up long time ago and honestly he’s not showing you and your children respect. Who else is at the grandparents house when him and his daughter are there and not you and your children.

You can’t control what other people do. You set your boundaries with the Grandparents and you have to accept that they have their own choices too. :woman_shrugging:
Also you can’t punish his older child just on principle to get back at the grandparents to make your point or try and manipulate the situation by using her as leverage with them to do what you want or to do the right things. She has her own relationship with her grandparents and you can’t speak for her and what’s best for her above what her father and her mother decide for her. And her grandparents treating her differently is not her doing or her responsibility. The blame is on all the adults.
I feel you wanting her Dad to step up to them has very little to do with what’s best for his daughter, your concern and focus is on your shared kids.
If you want to make things better with your in laws so your children can have a relationship with them you’ll need to try and put in the work.

Your b/f needs to step up. Maybe you could all talk. So sad. Why would grandparents not want to see their own grandkids?! Some people are sick. So sorry for you & for their own blood grandchildren. Geez!

They won’t try to have a relationship with their grandkids because you won’t let them beat them? Why would you want them around your kids at all? You know step daughter is going over there & will come back with gifts. Do something special with them. Buy them something special. As they get older they can brag to their sister.

I’ve been in a relationship that my kids never met their father’s side. We knew his dad & son. We were not allowed at his dad’s. He’d even go there & make us stay in the car. We walked over once & wasn’t allowed inside. My daughter cried she was thirsty. His dad wouldn’t even get her a drink. A relationship like this isn’t worth staying in. They make you & your kids feel like you’re less or something. They’re hiding something. In your case they’re controlling. They enjoy beating on kids & are punishing you for not allowing them to beat on yours. I’d leave the relationship. You deserve to be in a place that you are loved. The fact that he’s ok with his oldest being treated differently than his other 2 is not right. It means he values your children less. I bet if you leave he won’t even file for legal rights. Find a place to stay, even temporary. When he & his daughter are at his parents leave.

My kids were blatantly left out of things the whole time I associated with their father … we would turn up to visit their grandmother to be told they can’t visit due to their sister being their … so oneday I just said I was tired of this crap . N refuse to even attend the things we were invited to…

Then have their grandmother winge to ppl she can’t see her grand kids.

Fact be known she was Invited to events, lunch, playdates ect for 2 yrs after I stopped associating with her son… she ignored my children in kmart …

Last I heard my kids were left out of their grandfathers estate after it was sold , everything my children may have been entitled to given to their sister and cousins …

Not that they need anything but ppl don’t understand why I can’t stand my exes family and their false eliteness…

Saved my kids from future abuse and narcissistic narratives

Sorry but you don’t need that kind of man to set an example for your kids. Move on honey and get rid of that useless man. You give your kids all the love they need, and they shouldn’t feel the need of having other people’s love.

If he’s telling you often that you’re the problem, what is he telling his parents about you? I think you need to have an open conversation and just leave everything on the table. Either they accept you and the kids because they are his too or you should walk. At some point the kids are going to be old enough to know what’s going on and start asking questions. Tell him if that’s the way he wants it to be, than he can answer the questions from HIS kids why they’re being left out of everything. You could also turn the tables on him when your family invites you to things and say, well you weren’t invited you can’t go and leave without him. He’ll either get pissed or start questioning it. Until he know what it’s like or how you AND his other children feel the problem won’t be solved

My dad’s mother was like that she would never see me and my siblings as part of her family so she would tell us to call her by name and she loved using our help on livestock wise but then when my dad remarried to a lady that has kids she loved those kids even doe they weren’t blood and when she passed away she left them everything to remember her by and nothing for us. So there for I don’t really deal with my dad I hardly see him once a yr sometimes twice and he trys to tell me there’s this wrong with my health but I just let him use those guys the real family lol I told my brothers to back off too.

Sounds like there’s more to the story

Definitely not tell him to man up

Not overreacting at all. It’s hurtful to be left out. Especially when it’s your kids. The biggest problem here isn’t his parents In my opinion. It’s his and the lack of loyalty to your family as a whole.
If he can’t take a stand for something so important then it sounds like it’s not important to him at all. And you have to wonder if this is what you want for your kids and your family.

Why are you still there? There’s better out there for you and your kids!

Make the first move and invite them to dinner. Give them ample opportunity to show their true colors. If they come, be a gracious host, especially in front of the children. If they decline without a monumentally good reason, the he needs to be a man and tell them that it’s all of the kids or none of the kids. In this scenario, he absolutely can not say that you are the problem. Good luck!

So first off don’t say his daughter yall been together 5 years and yall got 2 others together you are feeding into they are all different now as for that I would tell her myself go to hell they are a package deal and if your man got an issue with that tell him to go to hell too

Ummm no ma’am I couldn’t and wouldn’t put with that BS

5 years 2 kids and he is still just a boyfriend :unamused::disappointed:Well maybe you don’t want to get married but his family probably see you as just a girlfriend and nothing more. I would’ve set boundaries with the first child and if they still didn’t show love to that child I would’ve packed up and left. Since you have 2 I would make it clear that they at least try to not show favoritism. Either he will step up or you may need to leave the entire situation and coparent.

Its a tricky one. Its not fair either way however I don’t think it’s fair to cut ties with your partners daughter and her relationship with her grandparents. I get your trying to protect your kids but as a step mum Why would u want your step daughter not having a relationship with her grandparents who she is obviously close with. Why would u want to hurt your step daughter.

You can stop it with your kids but not the 1 that’s solely his…

Hell to the NO! This guy is the most insulting man I have ever heard about. How can he have a conscience and leave you all at home. Makes me bloody cringe. What a dip shit.

Some people smoke to ease their mental health issues. I know people who have had traumatic upbringings and now smoke weed just like that. Some people will never give up on the pot lol, that I’ve learned over the years. Not sure what you can do besides reconsider the relationship itself.

It’s not the fact that he smokes, it’s the fact he has to stay high throughout the day… if it doesn’t effect his responsibility as a parent, boyfriend, or worker he’s fine… my mother in law does it and functional

If you’re not comfortable with it and you’re voicing to him that you have concerns about it especially around the kids yet he doesn’t care then that shows he doesn’t respect your feelings or where you are coming from as a parent. Communication is such a huge thing in parenting and relationships and if there isn’t any compromise or understanding then it’s best to walk away because unless both people are willing to respect each other’s feelings it will not get better.
