My DH and I moved into our own home about three months ago. This was the first time since his divorce that his children had their own rooms when they stayed with him for visitation weekends. The house is also closer to his boys, who originally lived 20 miles from us, but whose mother moved them 20 miles further away shortly after I met DH.

My SSs are on their way to our house and I'm already filled with a sense of dread.

They are not terrible kids, but they are immature and entitled. They are in middle school, yet if they ask to do something and you tell them no or "not today" they ask at least five or six more times. One of the also has regular crying, screaming temper tantrums and has to call his mother twice a day, leading to an endless stream of texts from her about all the things this child wants but "doesn't feel comfortable" asking us for.
