I don’t like my step kids
Help! I don’t like my step kids. I love them of course but honestly I don’t want to spend any time with them. At all. I’ve been their bonus mom for 4 years now. They are 5 and 7 years old. My husband and I just had our own son and I’m on Mat leave. I pick them up from the bus stop everyday after school and spend 2.5 hrs with them before their dad comes home. I don’t even want to do that! Help, any advice?
My daughter (5) has a ton of attitude and yells to get her way. My son (7) hates school and only wants to complain and play video games. I just let him bc I don’t want to deal with him!!

We should get in touch. My step kids are teenagers but I came into their lives about that age. It’s been a rough ride and I’m just now on the journey of having my own child. Having someone to talk to helps immensely.
why not try to get to know them? their interests? & change your way of thinking
@Mariah of course I know their interests and them as people… I’ve been in their lives since they were basically babies. They bring home a ton of attitude and disrespect from their birth mom’s house, expect me and their dad to go above and beyond for them, whine about everything, and are never satisfied.

Totally understandable. Everything changes when you have your own child. Just be patient and remember that they are going to take care of their younger brother when they grow up. They are going to be your baby’s siblings forever even when you and your husband won’t live. You can do it
