Re: 4 year old stepchildren

Maybe you are trying to help, but the tone of your post was really kinda mean.
What do you think Im doing here if not trying to CHANGE the situation, but I am only his fathers girlfriend and he is the one who is fully in charge, I desperately am trying to change this situation!!! Why do you think Im here asking for help? If this was my child I never would allow him to have candy or bad food ever, but it took my boyfriend forever to even be willing to get the candy out of the house. Dont you think this is frustrating for me? To not have control when Im the one wanting change? I cant MAKE my boyfriend eat better, be a better example, and do the things he needs to do for his son. I cant make his mother do it either, Im just a third party trying to do what I can do. I cannot make "house rules" if my boyfriend, the boys FATHER wont enforce them and doesnt follow them himself??? Tell me how Im supposed to...?

I have tried telling my boyfriend this is how its gonna be, about not having kool aid, soda, and candy in the house. He does want he wants and thats that.

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. Maybe I should just leave. Tweet
