im in a relasionship with a lovely woman, however ive spent a few days at her houe, and the oldest child is really not taking to me for some raeson, he had a right go at me the other day, child in question is 21, never had a job, does pay a small anount of rent but doesnt so anything in the house, how do i go about this, if it was my kid i would give him a slap and ban him from what he likes the best, but hes not mine, and its driving a wedge between us?

This is really something you need to resolve between you.

If you can't, it could just eat away at the relationship.

yea but hes her free loading work shy wanker haha so if you get involved without her consent u could drive a wedge but its up to you a bit of reality might wake him up

if something bad happens between him and you blood is usually thicker than water so u need to make sure mrs agrees with your view

Don't do anything. Not your place or responsibility. If you and your partner are allowing this to get between you then that's the issue that needs sorting.

If some of the things you are saying here you are saying to your partner about her child, I’m not surprised causing a wedge.

Your relation is with her and not the child, who is an adult

Tricky one... I've had 12 years of a similar situation to reflect upon.

Start as you mean to go on. Whatever any values you have.

Second, she will always choose her son over boyfriend...

I'd tread very carefully OP, whilst at 21 he is an adult, he is still her child. Your dislike of him is very apparent in this post, I very much doubt that this woman feels the way you do about her own offspring.

Op, try and put yourself in their situation, actually properly on their situation, and look at it from hers and his point of view.

Do you think you should be getting involved in the way she speaks to her son, and how he behaves? Do you think it’s your place to do that?

He's not a child at 21, he's a man, so treat him like one. Take him to the pub, get a few beers in him and get know him. You'll either end up as mates or you'll end up fighting, but at least you'll know where you stand.

And that right there is the problem

( but hate the child, hes a free loading work shy wanker who does nothing around the house, i have no respect for him )

First off he’s not your child

Secondly if I was his mother you be gone for speeking about my child like that no matter what he dose or dosent do

See instead off trying to intervine bween him and his mother

Why not just be there for his mother to listen to the problems be a shoulder for her to cry on be there to console her when see needs it but it’s not your place to step in

Wirral.

Speaking as someone who doesn't have kids, I can understand that you may feel that way about him. Let's be honest, other people's kids can be a nightmare (not all!)

But I think you need to think this through properly. No parent wants to hear their kids being critisized, even if they slag them off!

Secondly, the kids came before you. You must have accepted that they came as a package, and were happy to embark upon the relationship You can't pick and choose which kids you want in your life.

What I would do is accept his feelings, explain how you feel to your partner (or show her this thread!) and maybe not spend as much time in his company.

Good luck

Even when you met he was or nearly an adult. He might be still mourning the loss of his father and resentful of a new man in his family life. Just give him space, as said before your relationship is with your partner not him. Try to draw a line under it or imagine how he might feel, be the bigger adult and don’t rise to any confrontation.

" i fear the poster who said the child will always come first is right"

If you can't understand the relationship between a mother and her child (irrespective of the age of the child) then I don't think you'll ever get past this issue.

Of course someone's child will also be of greater importance to them than a romantic relationship. Mr KC knows I love him to bits, but I have to say that if I was forced to choose between my children and him, I'd choose the children. He knows that and I know he'd make the same choice if faced with it. Both of us would die to save our kids and would sacrifice each other.

thank you for your messured response, unlike alot on here, she will see this as we have a joint account, and if shit hits the fan then its mine to deal with, but atm its becoming a deal breaker as i dont want to go to her house, and that would be a real shame as i love her other kids

You're going about this completely the wrong way

The way you word things reads confrontational

Going toe to toe with a headstrong 21 year old will not resolve a thing

As a nearly 50 year old man you should know that

You could be offering support, leadership, direction, but instead you are being bullish with the lad because he isn't how you think he should be

He isn't even your child

You are in his space, not the other way round

You mention respect

That works both ways, you have to give him enough encouragement to respect you and maybe, just maybe, once that happens, he might to take notice

At the moment it sounds like you are rubbing each other up the wrong way and it comes across as an exercise in testosterone

That isn't attractive

Perhaps if your partner has recently lost a husband and the lad a father, you could cut them both some slack

Being protective over his mum is a negative. Surely it's a positive.

You are in his space...he is not in yours..

Look at it like this...

Ask her to choose between him and you and then put your shoes on your feet on the way out...

People have been respectful to you, but don't agree with you and of course you're going to get negativity because your post is negative. Most people have suggested you don't do anything and that maybe your attitude towards the lad are the issue. What advice do you want?

"Speaking as someone who doesn't have kids, I can understand that you may feel that way about him. Let's be honest, other people's kids can be a nightmare (not all!)

But I think you need to think this through properly. No parent wants to hear their kids being critisized, even if they slag them off!

Secondly, the kids came before you. You must have accepted that they came as a package, and were happy to embark upon the relationship You can't pick and choose which kids you want in your life.

What I would do is accept his feelings, explain how you feel to your partner (or show her this thread!) and maybe not spend as much time in his company.

Good luck

thank you for your messured response, unlike alot on here, she will see this as we have a joint account, and if shit hits the fan then its mine to deal with, but atm its becoming a deal breaker as i dont want to go to her house, and that would be a real shame as i love her other kids"

To be fair, OP, all the responses have been measured. I'm just seeing it from a different perspective, as I'm not a mother.

Can I assume that you don't have kids yourself?

I'm wondering what's changed to make it so unbeatable, after 2 years? I hope you can work it out, but it seems to me that you're looking for validation to beat the woman round the head with her son.

As has been said, mum's will put their kids first, if you can't accept this, then I think you have to rethink your part in the relationship.

Good luck

"hard one and difficult to ban a 21 yr old from anything hes an adult not a child

all u can do is try and have a adult 121 chat and bring him round nothing else can be done otherwise that i can see but i expect there will be lots of advice from others

thank you for the advise, ive tried that, he says one thing and does the other, im not going to give up on the relathionship, i love her, but hate the child, hes a free loading work shy wanker who does nothing around the house, i have no respect for him"

Quote- "I love her, but hate the child"

^^^^^^^

He's picked up on your vibe that you "hate" him.

He's not a child by the way & I reckon you treat him like one. Don't forget you're the outsider not him. Can't be easy on him either when you visit & I'm assuming stay overnight in his Moms bed. I get the feeling you clash too with this young Man. Can't his Mom go to yours instead? & keep it totally separate. That would be the best option.

Also.. There's no rule that says you have to get along with everyone and they in turn have to get along with you. Play the long game. Find a way to coexist that involves as little conflict with him as possible. His values may not be your values. Be polite and respectful as a minimum... As hard as that may be.

"Step back... he's an adult and not your responsibility.

Having read through further responses, I stand by my original one.

He isn't getting in the way of your relationship. The man is her son, so from his perspective, you're getting in the way of his relationship with his mother.

It's important that you respect that and don't get involved in their relationship.

Be the better man, don't rise to the bait, don't let him get to you etc.

I think what he wants to hear is

The kids lazy needs sliped around the lugs kicked out the house and told not to come back

Obviously that’s all wrong

What he should want to do is be there for the mom

It’s not his place to step in

But it is his place to be a shoulder for her to cry on and console and listen to her problems when she wants to vent about it

Honestly, OP. No one is being bitchy, we're giving you want you asked for: advice. Bloody good advice from ladies very well in a similar situation to your partner.

You have been given advice and people have not been bitchy! they have just made it clear they don't like the way you speak about this persons child.

Do you have kids OP?

I don't think you do because if you did you'd realise you can't hate one of them and love the other 2 (Your words on this thread). When it comes to your blood your children its really doesn't work like that.

We can at times dislike our children's behaviour and current state of personality but we will always love and protect them that is hardwired and primal.

I gave you helpful stuff, as did most others

It might not be what you wanted to hear, but if put into action, sincerely and not with contempt, might just help you resolve the issue over time

This will not be solved overnight

If you think it will, you are pushing an ultimatum, one in which you could very well come second

I say this with the best of intentions; 'wind your neck in'

Been there... It can be exhausting and emotional... But its a marathon and not a sprint. Treat it as a long term project to make that relationship (you and he) as good as it can be... But you can't flick a switch and make it friendly if the other side aren't ready for that yet. Don't lose sight that your relationship with him is a separate entity to the one between you and his mum. Good luck with it.

I have a 23 and 19 year old sons. They lost their father 3 years back.

The 19 year old can be very bloody lazy and is a typical young adult male.

If any man said these things about my son or had these feelings about him, the man would be out the door. The relationship would end.

OP, can you see things from the young man's perspective at all? He's lost his Dad, and now, he might feel like he's lost or is losing his mum (emotionally, physically etc). He might be 21yo but he's still a very young adult, presumably with limited life experience. Just because the other two children seem to be coping better with things is irrelevant.

The more you "hit" back at him and his lifestyle, behaviour etc, the more he will "hit" back at you because you are reinforcing his fears.

Any sniff of ultimatums and choosing one person over the other will simply reaffirm his fears that you intend to steal his mother away so all her emotional energy is focused on you.

If you cannot learn how to share your partner's time and emotional energy with her children, then I have to say you are onto an odds-on loss.

Out of curiousity does his mum know you are on fab and does she?

Seems bit double standards here as you criticise her lad for a start i had trouble with ex who i met on here and had issues.

I explained to ex he out of order one day he turned on her so i stepped as was in her face and not letting it get physical.

When not lets say got sniffles i could chat with him made it clear am not his dad etc nor intend to but will not tolerate that behaviour. After that we got on great.

The op i think he should be upfront with his mum about it but fact he on fab somewhat dilutes my sympathy

First up, calling her child names and using the word hatred is pretty fucking strong.

Guess what? He ain't stupid and will know you dislike him. Guess what else? He won't respect you if you don't respect him.

Now, it's hard enough for anyone to lose a parent. This lad has lost his own father in a tragic way and there's every chance he is still grieving. Yes he may be 21 so technically an adult but fuck me I can't imagine having to deal with that at his age or earlier.

Has he had counselling?

Are you taking into consideration your presence may be a constant reminder to him that his dad is dead and now you're holding his mother's hand instead of his father?

I'm not saying that IS the cause of your issues with him, but you can't be certain that it's not and yes, he will need to accept things as they are but grief has no timeline.

He may very well be a "workshy wanker" just the same as me may very well be someone who hurts every day, struggles to see the light at the end of the tunnel and is angry and disgusted at the world every damn day for being so cruel.

Acceptance comes with time, as does maturity and differing perspective. He may be an adult now but he was a child who lost his father.

"Step back... he's an adult and not your responsibility. "

Exactly this.

It's a no win situation if you involve yourself.

Hes an adult, not a child and it's up to his mother to deal with the situation whilst he lives under her roof, not you. Regardless of bad behaviour or not, it's his home and you are the guest.

Arrange to meet the mother away from the house and keep conflict to a minimum. Hes not your problem.

He probably does resent you being that he lost his father a few years ago. I would be a mess if I lost my parent at my current age let alone at 21! I mean you are an adult on a swinging site sagging him off so he may pick up on the resentment you seem to have for him. Or feels you are trying to come between his mum and him.

Put yourself in his shoes.

You have walked into his life - he didn't walk into yours.

You have become his mums partner - you're not his nor he yours

You haven't developed a positive relationship with him yet - and it seems that you are presuming that this is a lack of his respect for you however I havent read anything you've posted that acknowledges any respect for him. He's 21 - he lost his dad and you seem to think he should welcome you with open arms??

Myself & Mr KC have a blended family - and its been tough for many years - sometimes we have to acknowledge we have very different parenting styles for our children but accept that these are our differences and affect how our children relate with us as step parents. My relationship with his children differ because they are different but I have to recognise how our different personalities also affect how we relate to each other - it isn't one sided and doesn't make anyone one of us the person in the wrong.

Indeed its taken me nearly 20yrs to develop a positive relationship with one of his - its been a long road but I can now say I am proud to be his stepmother & I love him whole heartedly.

If you love his mother then you will find a way together. It's not a competition, it doesn't have to be either you or him - do not put her in a position she has to choose - you will lose. Be her partner, be supportive, don't be critical - perseverance & understanding will get you to your goal

Good luck x

The fact that he has made you the one at fault for not listening here is quite frankly incredible!

You have every right to be extremely fucked off right now.

The cheek of it. Using a couples profile to slag off the others offspring publicly.

I would be fucking fuming. And he’d be dumped.

The 21 year old is not the problem.

Good luck.

Just be mindful that there is a 21 year old that has lost a parent and another father figure in the house is probably the last thing the lad wants. I would personally just be respectful to him at all times and enjoy the time with your partner and the other 2 children. Give support and hopefully he will come round. You can't make people warm towards you but if you are being approachable and giving off good vibes it's more likely to happen

"im in a relasionship with a lovely woman, however ive spent a few days at her houe, and the oldest child is really not taking to me for some raeson, he had a right go at me the other day, child in question is 21, never had a job, does pay a small anount of rent but doesnt so anything in the house, how do i go about this, if it was my kid i would give him a slap and ban him from what he likes the best, but hes not mine, and its driving a wedge between us?"

I'd love it if you tried to slap him and he put you on your arse, disgusting attitude towards your partners flesh and blood.

Of course he hates you and I can see why, you're not his dad and you think you're big and tough by threatening a young adult.

You should be the adult and be trying to form a friendship with him, it's not easy to do but you're bang out of order.

So, somewhere in the region of 20-30 people have suggested that it is his attitude and approach that needs addressing, but somehow that is your fault?

Every alarm bell in my body is going off right now

As the parent of a

25, 26 and 30 year old sons who lost their dad 8 years ago, I feel qualified to answer your original comment OP.

It's a very tricky situation when a widow brings a new man into her kids lives. One of my son's hated my male friend, who I adored. It is very difficult for the female.

The lady's son in question, will have been extremely badly affected by his dad's tragic death. He needs understanding and help, it takes many years to come to terms with such a loss

So he doesn't do anything around the house, so what...

Maybe the lad is depressed and can't get motivated

To be honest the best thing the lady can do is take a step back from you, I would be kicking the arse out of the door of any man who made a forum post against my son's. You sound very hateful towards the lady's so and it doesn't come across very nicely at all

The lad may think he has an excuse to be unpleasant to you because you have taken the place of his dad in his mums affections. I don’t think he has. He is a grown man and he needs to realise that his mum has somebody new and is trying to create a new life from the shattered remains of her old one. One potential solution is for both you and your lady friend sit down with all of the children and tell them how you hope your relationship will progress. If they have any objections to the plan you lay out, they can talk them out in an open debate that you are all involved in.

It may not solve the problem but it will bring things out in the open so that all are aware of issues and feelings.

Honey, I wasn't going to reply again but you or your boy are not the problem here.

I hope you are ok and I hope you can work out a way forward one way or another.

Sending you lots of love and best wishes to you and your son

Does make me eye roll how many people are saying "he's a grown man, he's an adult"

How many of the same people also speak of 21 year olds on here as immature, that they lack life experience etc?

How many of you can accept that at 30, at 40, at 50 you look back at your 21 year old self and think you were more mature than your 16 year old self but actually waaaay less "grown adulty" than you are now?

My son is 21 soon. Do I look at him and think "look at my adult son?"

Nope, I think "yep, he's GROWING into a decent young man"

The "break" would be a forever break if this was me & mine... sounds like OP is acting more like a child than the child is..

A son or daughter is ALWAYS a child in the parents eyes no matter their age..

And I don't see any respect or love for the mum if he's posting on here about her child..

Good luck Arri for your future x

Absolutely agree. My eldest is 27 and only just accepting that he is in fact an adult

But age of the son is irrelevant, he does not deserve the level of abuse he received last night.

Me too, the one thing you never do is come between a Mum and her Son, and don't do it publicly because other Mums with sons read stuff like that the maternal instinct kicks in and it's like a red rag to a bull.

Reminds me of my abusive ex. He would "tell tales" on my lad when I got home from work to cause aggro. I could see it for what it was, the ex wanting to be top dog. The tales he would tell would be playground stuff.

He was being noisy.

He ate the last of the bread.

He used 2 cups instead of one.

Well, ya know what fuck face?

He would have got more bread if you didn't take the money I left and spent it at the pub.

He would have washed up if you didn't critique how he does it.

He was probably being noisy yo drown out your droning whinge.

I ain't falling into your petty games and attempts at one upmanship and trouble causing.

Fuuuuck off.

And this is why I have remained single after splitting with my kids dad. I did not want some fella coming into their lives and picking fault with the things they do, making their life a misery, particularly as my youngest has ASD. I would go mental.

What others?

People have been respectful to you, but don't agree with you and of course you're going to get negativity because your post is negative. Most people have suggested you don't do anything and that maybe your attitude towards the lad are the issue. What advice do you want?

The advice that he wants to hear Lorna from the people who agree with him how about some helpfull stuff????????????? rather than just bitching about me, i asked a serious question and all you can do is type bitchy replies, shame on you

You have been given advice and people have not been bitchy! they have just made it clear they don't like the way you speak about this persons child. Please define what you describe as helpful advice because everything anyone has said hasn't been good enough, so you tell us what you want us to say because that's what you want!
