Single dad with kids having trouble with my dad?
Question: my dad has been helping me with my kids since i am a single parent and work crazy hours. it was getting where they were already asleep when i got off work and my dad would take them to school then i would go to work at 1:30 pm and i was not seeing them so i decided to start getting them in the morning and getting them ready for school. for some reason the caused a problem with my dad and new stepmother i was invading her privacy. she was not able to run around in her panties in the morning with me there. we got in a lot of arguments about it. am i wrong or do i have the right to be with my kids anywhere they are
Answers: You need to discuss with her and your dad that you DO have that right to be with your kids, and while you appreciate them taking care of your kids while you're working, and didn't mean to invade your new stepmother's privacy, they need to understand that you don't get too many chances to see your kids throughout the day.
Why is she running around in her panties in front of the kids? Do the kids sleep in their room? I will be honest with you; their privacy is in the bedroom. Tell her to cover up in front of your kids. I would suggest you try to get normal hours. Then you can put the kids in after school programs and stuff and get them off to school in the morning. Its not healthy to be living with your Dad. Or to be depending on him so much on him.
Its great your dad's able to help. Why don't you talk with him & let him know how much you appreciate him being there for you and explain what you've said about wanting to see the kids whenever you can since your hours are crazy. Maybe you should talk about it to figure out a solution that's good for all of you. Your kids at some point really should be in their own home -- is there another alternative for the evenings? Maybe dad has them for most of the day, and you get a babysitter to watch them in the evenings & get them ready for bed & stay till you get home?
It sounds to me like your dad and his wife are doing you a very big favour. At a time in there lives when they shouldn't have the responsibility of full time parenting. I think your being a little selfish and unreasonable.
If you are going to send a message to someone you should allow them to reply back.
I understand where you are coming from but it's not your house. It's there's. If that arrangement isn't working out for you, you should look into other possibilities. Or confront your dad and risk damaging YOUR relationship with him. I am a mother. And I do believe you have the right to be with your kid's and further commend you for trying. You asked for advice and that's MY advice!
