Do I have a right to be upset about my husband treating my son differently?

Not his responsibility just bc you guys are married? I’m so sorry! :sob: I would not accept that, ever.

Kick him out. That’s disrespectful to you but also to your son. Just imagine how that would make him feel, that the father he thought he could look up to and have as a role model doesn’t think that that child deserves the same as his other kids. No child should be left out, If he can’t handle it then the father should leave!!

From my own experience leave now while you can darl because it’s only going to get worse

Absolutely you should be upset! He not only married you, but he married your kids! I would leave. That is so incredibly selfish of him.

Red lights should be flashing all around you!!! Why do you want to be with him if he won’t treat your son with the love and respect he treats his?

You’ve been together for four years he’s wrong about your son and lying about giving baby mama extra money? Hell no that’s grounds for breaking up in my book. What else has he lifted about.

You’re a package when he married you so it’s wrong for him to say that he won’t take any responsibility just because he is not the bio dad. That’s being so selfish & not healthy for your marriage. Leave him.

You stay home and take care of his home and his kids. The deal with that is he takes care of you and yours. This honestly sounds like financial abuse.

I would be extremely upset about that. My opinion is that if you choose to be with someone who already has kids you are choosing to love and provide for those kids. I have 1 son from a precious relationship and if my son was to be treated differently than our child we have together I wouldn’t tolerate it.

Yeah fuck that… I would be pissed!!! If i were to treat my step daughter different than my own kids i would expect him to leave me. Good luck girl… Keep your head up :heart::heart:

Dose he treat your boy different I was in an abusive relationship with the father of my son (mentally and emotional) my son was never treated with the love and support a father should give he has suffered a lot of hurt and has a lot of issues i now blame on my x depression and social anxiety i will always blame myself for not leaving sooner

Did you not know this before you married him.

Not married. And I work. But I’ve already told my boyfriend if he ever treats mine any differently than ours, I’m gone. I’ve been the kid on the receiving end, I’d rather be a single mother than ever let my daughter be made to feel like she’s not good enough.

You marry one, you marry all! He is dead wrong. You should be able to go out and buy what you need for all of these kids the same. I would tell him you aren’t a free sitter so if he is gonna be playing unfair your rate is 12 bucks an hour for his kids when he expects you to keep them and tell him that money is needed to get things for your kids since he wants a divide in the house. I BET he would say you’re crazy, even tho its exactly how he is acting with you.

Its really hard to decide. In your situation you have two other little ones that need their dad. You will end up with 3 kids from a broken home if you leave him. But on the other hand kids don’t ask to come to this world and is our responsability as a mother to seek the best for them. I would really talk to him. Tell him how he made you feel and how impotent it is to need something and not be able to provide. Tell him if that is really how he feels then look for a job so you can provide for your son and stop helping him with his other kids. And if that is not an option then you are better without him.

I would leave. What behavior is permitted, will continue. Im sorry but hes doing this because he can.

No you are not wrong at all I have 2 kids (9 and 7 almost) from a previous marriage and a a baby (5 months old)with the man I’m with now (my husband and he every time he buys for one he buys for the other I am also a stay at home mom. If he buys a toy for our 5 month old or outfit he buys a toy or outfit for my 9 and 7 yr old they call him daddy and think of him as daddy. I told my husband when we got together it’s but one get 2 free. Lol and he’s always provided for them he’s been in their lives since they were 2 yrs and the other was 3 months. He’s never let them go without before we got married if I told him I need diapers or I needed clothes for kids without anything her either give me money or take me shopping for them! I believe when he married you he married your child! And he needs to treat them all the same!

Then quit doing everything for his kids, when you marry someone with kids then you treat them like your own. What he did was extremely wrong, your kids come before any man. I would leave him for that, you are strong enough.

Thats awful. Tell him to pay you when you have to keep his kids so you can buy your sons clothes. Better yet… LEAVE

I’m sorry but I would leave, ima tell you why… because I’m sure your son can see that he is obviously pushed to the side and that every kid in that home comes before he does!

My hubby has 2 kiddos that aren’t biologically mine, and I have one that isn’t his and every kid is treated equally in my home, I wouldn’t want any of our kids to feel like one is more important than the other because that isn’t how it works​:woman_shrugging:t2::woman_shrugging:t2:

:hushed::hushed::hushed: there’s no way my husband would ever say that to me but, I also don’t need his permission if it’s something they need… Like clothes.

It’s not fair that you take care of his kids, and he doesn’t do the same for yours. Being lied to isn’t right. He would have to change his attitude toward your children to avoid future conflicts. Children suffer the most when they are not treated fairly.

I think you both need to set down and figure your shit out. You obviously resent his kids as does he yours. If you didn’t you would have never mentioned having to “clean up” after them. Get a grip, they are children. You both sound selfish IMO. The fact that you are saying his kids, his kids. Those should be your kids by now as well. Your both in the wrong.

That’s super disrespectful. Since that is how he feels, then so be it. You no longer watch or take care of his children. And you will need to get a job so you can provide for your children.

Im sorry your going thru that. I don’t know what it is to be the one with a package but I am a step mom. I just want to say it’s hard as hell and I don’t think anyone should ever expect you to do anything for them or theirs. As long as kids aren’t being mistreated you shouldn’t be demanding something that isn’t your responsibility. I say this with being an involved step parent who always went above and beyond and took care of my step child more than the actual parents at the beginning and when people don’t appreciate that shit or when kids take advantage too if your kindness and parents and child use you at their convenience but tell you to butt out in other situations that hurts. I think I’m your situation give what you recieve in return. Stop helping with his kids the parents can figure that out. Get a job and make sure your son is taken care of by you and make sure the other two get exactly what his other kids get. Don’t let them take advantage and also don’t take it personal if he doesn’t want to help. In the end it’s not his child you as much as you love or accept a child they aren’t yours. If people won’t do for you what you’d do for them. Don’t do it. It will just torment you knowing your being walked all over. It’s not kids fault what we choose to do as adults but it’s life and it won’t be perfect. It’s just shit they have to live thru. But always keeping in mind your guild isn’t being mistreated or purposely made to feel like shit. Teach him not to expect anything and rather be appreciative of what someone who isn’t related to them does for him.

Huge fear of mine cause I’d be out of that relationship in a heartbeat doesn’t matter how much I love a partner I’ll never love anyone more then my kids
And also I do not tolerate lies in a relationship truth up front and honesty… lies or untold things you and they know you should’ve been told is nothing but poison in a relationship there isn’t many relationships that’s can come back from distrust.

I mean your wording to me makes it sounds like taking care of “his kids” is a job for you… so it sounds like taking care of “your kid” to him he does the same in return… I think if you have an honest conversation about blending your family more and you both are willing and able and most of all WANTING to do that then I think this can be mended, but in my house they’re not “his” or “her” kids, they’re our kids… and they are both treated the exact same… so if that mentality and treatment can happen in your home this wouldn’t / shouldn’t be an issue again. But like I said it sounds like you both are doing the same thing to each other by the way you’re speaking… so it would be expected of him to act that way back honestly…

Why would you to be with someone with that many kids you are his baby sitter for free

You are with an immature selfish child!! No one would treat my child like that. Or make me feel unimportant because i don’t bring $ in. It’s ok for you to take care of the house and kids because “that’s your job” no thanks. I’m not a maid.

Wow wow wow he is an arse! If he wanted to be with you that includes your kids to become a family! He needs a reality check.

This is crazy! I hve been withy bf for the same amount of time and its almost exactly the same situation. His boys are 13 and 14 and mine is 4. I do have a job. So i buy my sons stuff. My problem with him is discipline. He expects better behavior out of my 4yr then he does his own boys. Last night i flipped out on him because he screamed at my son and sent him to his room after he accidentally spilled his drink. Which was totally my bf fault cuz he got him all whined up. I flipped my lid because his son did the exact same thing yesterday and his dad was all like clean it up Andrew. Oh god i was instantly mad when he yelled at zeek. I tore into him telling him my boy is 4 urs is 10 times his age. If u cant be fair then dont say anything if im there. I felt bad for what i said and could have adressed it better butcwtf man. Even he agrees my son is a much better behaved child then his boys are on their best days and he knows its because he spils his boys rotten.

If he is not prepared to treat your son the same as all the other children, then I would leave. I agree with the other comments, find your self a job, get your own money, take your children and leave him. If you stay and he carrys on treating your son this way, you will cause so much damage to your son. It’s not his fault you married an asshole and his dad is not around, why must he be punished for adult stupidity!?

THROW. The. Whole. Husband. Away. He a insecure B… for that.

On a real note, I think you guys need to reevaluate your marriage and what roles ALL these kids play. Do not stoop to his level and start distancing yourself from his kids. We don’t punish children for adult problems. Those children will not understand why you have distanced yourself and started treating yours better than his. That can be a petty mentality and you can really damage children by that. You and him need to work that out behind closed doors.
