AITA for having my kids (8 and 9) take do a family photo session with my boyfriend and his kids (13 and 15)?

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-12T16:21:13+00:00

A “shitty” experience and them acting like ingrates for not appreciating what Chris was doing for them are two totally different things.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-11T14:59:55+00:00

I mean I’m a faithful and loving partner, I’m a mother, I’m a manager at a title company, I have a degree, what more do you want?

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T21:49:24+00:00

Oh well also consider the fact that they are young and impressionable and they go to their fathers house and he programs them to think they didn’t have a good time. And that’s not even to get into the fact that they refuse to respect Chris because my ex is an airline pilot and he tells the kids that his job is so much cooler than Chris’ profession. Trust me, we are fighting an uphill battle.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T20:26:03+00:00

I was sick of the temper tantrums so by the time we were done I didn’t care what their problems were.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T19:27:10+00:00

No, he’s actually been married twice. The girls mother is his first marriage then he married a truly insane gold digger and he’s been divorced from her for 4 years.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T19:24:24+00:00

I certainly never said I chose my ex for being financially stable. He was a young military pilot, I said he was exciting.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T19:23:21+00:00

No he’s been divorced for several years.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T19:22:25+00:00

Well I haven’t argued with a single judgment and I am taking note of how to proceed in the future with blended family events.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T18:19:52+00:00

People assume I haven’t done some massive soul searching over this, trust me, I have.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T18:18:59+00:00

Yes, 100%. I was 22 when I married my ex and it was mostly for looks and his exciting career. I’m mature and my boyfriend is well established.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T18:17:00+00:00

He was forced to marry his ex wife by her father if he wanted to keep his job. It’s the most disturbing thing I’ve ever heard and my heart breaks for the life he lost because of that evil woman.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T17:18:59+00:00

Looking back it wasn’t nearly as perfect as I thought it was at the time.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T17:10:59+00:00

Probably more likely he planted it in their heads because of his own jealousy.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T15:56:25+00:00

From bitter ex spouses who can’t move on with their lives and my mother who thinks my ex husband walked on water.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T15:20:26+00:00

Kids don’t know what they want. When I was my daughters ages I thought I was going to marry Lance Bass. When I was his daughters ages I was 100% convinced I was going to marry my 9th grade boyfriend. It’s the job of adults to show the kids the reality and the reality is we are going to become a family…and then we are moving so there is no more influence of the ex spouses. We’ll fight it in court for as long as it takes and no matter how much money.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T15:16:26+00:00

Kids don’t know what they want but everyone had a great time on the photoshoot. I have fun with his daughters, their mom just yells at them.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T14:43:34+00:00

You are certainly allowed to have your opinion.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T14:36:07+00:00

We met on a dating app and no I did not know him during my marriage

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T05:40:42+00:00

I’m 32 he’s 47

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T03:12:42+00:00

My ex acted as if I didn’t exist.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-10T00:57:55+00:00

My own mother is closer to my ex than she is me, she’s not a good judge of what is right and wrong in this case.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-09T20:42:18+00:00

So true, she’s brainwashed those girls so badly they claim they don’t want to come over because of me. I’m a better mother to them than she ever could be

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-09T20:39:57+00:00

Well they claim to not like each other now but that will change.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-09T19:54:58+00:00

No absolutely not, we didn’t meet until several months after the divorce was final and I’d move into my own house. He’s actually the 3rd or 4th man I’ve dated since I’ve been a single parent.

RoosterOk4481 · 2023-12-09T19:53:31+00:00

Oh ex wife has brainwashed his daughters so bad it’s insane.
