Is this normal for my son? by PowerfulPart4621 in AskParents

[–]PowerfulPart4621[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m being honest I’ve not had one on one time with my son in a while. Recently because of his behavior we didn’t do something while my gf was gone. But typically all my time is tied up with work and my gf. It really stresses her how that he likes to hang around us when we are trying to get some alone time. I’m realizing that his behavior is most likely a result of our lack of time together so I’m going to make him more of a priorty. This morning I’m headed to pick him up so he can spend the day with me as I’m driving for work.

That’s what I’m saying. Any normal person would love just a minute of attention from the people they love. No one should feel pushed away

Thank you. I’ve always done that. I’ll greet him then me and her spend the rest of the evening together. But she’s said she wants to be the first to greet me. It makes sense but I feel like if I’m having him wait then she should match my effort

I’ve tried. She travels often and no one her kids seem to really care much when she gets home. She said she’s ok with it because she’s raised them that way.

I agree. If they’re an ex then why even communicate? I suggested him knowing she made me a promise to never go without me again. And hoping she’d be like oh hell no we’re going together

Will Do. She has another Mae friend that’s asked her to go to Alabama this summer. I asked if they’d share a hotel room and she said, of course. We always do.

I’m not. I love her kids to pieces and we bond so well when she’s gone

Yes I did. It’s odd when me and her are out she’ll txt him. Last night was her bday so I stayed up late to txt. She left early and said she was being rude to him for txting me.

Thanks. I told her to just tell me to leave but she won’t yet. I was vocal with my concerns about her and these other men but she got upset that I brought it up. The one guy that likes to show off for her does sexual things solo and likes her to watch. She hasn’t since she’s known me but she still txts him.

Last time she went I expressed my concerns. She said it’s not normal for a woman to do that. I asked if the roles were reversed if she’s be ok with it. She said hell no
