I started dating a woman 9 months ago. Things between her and I are great. We have a lot of the same interests when we're together we have a great time. I can't remember being this happy in a relationship before. The only issue we have and it's a big one are her kids boy 9 and girl 11. I can't stand them. They're rude, whiny, spoiled little ****s. I understand that kids can be all of these things I have a 6 year old daughter that I have 50% of the time. But her kids are like this almost each and every time I'm with them. I'm not sure what to do. Do I keep going with the relationship and hope things will get better or do I break things off now?

I would think she's a package deal. If you don't like the whole package, no sense in wasting her time and yours.

This is why the 'you can't meet my kids until we've been together 6 months' rule that we see so often online is dumb. Sometimes the sweetie and the kids just don't get along. It matters.

You also might consider whether her child-raising techniques tell you something about her, something that is incompatible with you for the long run.

I'm sorry

Hey, you've only got 9 years before her youngest is likely to move out, or go to college if they can handle it. Maybe you can just keep separate homes until then!

This is exactly why I do not date women with kids AT ALL. I think you need to drop her.

Why would he do that? He's a single dad.

I think you have to think about your daughter. Would a woman who can't control her own children make a good stepmother?

That's what's making this even harder. My daughter just adores my GF.

The GF's child rearing skills are a bit suspect. Nothing that raises huge red flags. Because I won't have her in my daughter's life if there was anything.
