AboutTricia Expertise I was a single parent to my child his entire life. I have experienced many ups and downs that comes everyday with being a single parent. I have learned a lot throughout these years about child support/courts, ways to cope with the
daily stress, day care issues, work, ADD, relationships, teenagers, when to compromise and when to not, money issues, discipline issues, etc. I have done an excellent job raising my son who is now on his own and functioning well. I am currently an Executive of my company without any type of degree. My perseverance and strength has gotten me this far in life and work. I learned to understand what I need to focus on in life and what I can`t waste time on, learning to compromise most situations.
Question I have two children ages 2 and 4. We recently moved in with my boyfriend of 8 months and things were going well. We did family activities, the kids just love him and he loves them. We used to do a lot together but because of his and my work schedule we dont see eachother a lot, the kids never see him really. On his days off he goes and does stuff that I cant go do and dont really want to do because I want to spend time with my children. Its not all the time but I feel really left out. I sit at home with my kids and he is out doing all kinds of stuff with friends and family instead of spending time with us (road trips, going to bars). I dont want to come off as a naggy or needy gf but he used to just want to do things like date nights and family outings. I never get to go do things without the kids or him because whenever I have a babysitter he wants to hang out. I would love to spend more time with him but I want him to see how it makes me feel when he leaves me at home.
Answer Hi Ashley!
Be honest with him and tell him how you feel.
I am sure it is tough for him to adapt to a ready made family so give him some time.
But also sit down and talk to him about it.....it if is not to work out you would want to know sooner than later especially when children are involved.
