Bratty step children
So I just had to rant for a second ok so my df has two beautiful children from his last relationship. I get along really well w/ the kids and they get along with me as well. (I'm still at that I'm your friend not mother stage of our relationship). So the other day we were taking the kids out and his four year old daughter said she wanted to go to the toy store but we didn't have enough time because we had other things to do. So once he told her no she started screaming and crying, calling her father names and threatening to kick him and hit him.
So what does he do? Take her to the toy store right away and buy her a very expensive toy. I was so shocked I had to sit in the car for a minute once we got there.
Later that night when the kids went back to their mother I told him he shouldn't give her what she wants when she acts like that and that he should actually punish her and then out of the blue he tells me "alright I get it you don't care if she's unhappy because she's not your actual child" I had to clutch my invisible pearls.
We are TTC for our first child and it makes me worried that we're not going to work together when it comes to raising the child because we have such different views on parenting.
I wish he would understand the monster he's creating she's still so young so her behavior can be corrected but he doesn't want to listen.
