One of the problems I have with my bf is how he feeds his kids. He has a picky eater and has to bribe her to eat ANYthing healthy and then she eats two bites of healthy food and a ton of crap. Today I brought lasagna to his house and he got asparagus, salad, and bread. Like a dummy I fed my kids ravioli and asparagus at lunch, so at dinner my daughter9 didn't want lasagna. So she had two bowls of salad, more asparagus and 3 pieces of garlic bread, plus my leftover soup from lunch. I also gave her dr. pepper bc I told her if she drank her water bottle full of water throughout the day, she could have some pop at dinner. So bf gets mad because she ate all that bread. Idk why it matters...and he is concerned bc HIS kids only got 1 piece of bread each. So then he says something about how he gives his kids ice cream for eating their dinner, and he is in a tough spot because she (my dd) isn't eating all her food...how is it going to look to his kids? To which I replied, "she had two bowls of salad, asparagus, and finished my soup from lunch while you were gone...what is the problem?" And then I said, because it bothered me during the day (but I said NOTHING), "It's no different from me having to tell my kids they have to drink water all day while yours drink pop, capri-sun, etc..."

Then I realized how none of this EVER bothers him unless he has his kids. When they are not here, he is singing my daughter's praises. She is awesome, great, funny, takes care of him (she does pedicures on him and 'does' his hair...) but when his kids are here, she can't do anything right...why is that????!!!!!!!

On another note, I figured out why his youngest acts like a baby MOST of the time. Saw her mom holding her on her hip like a freakin toddler, not for a second, for like 5-10 minutes. She actually had to change sides. And she was playing peak-a-boo with her! THE GIRL IS 7!!!!!!!!!!!!! So then she came and sat with us, where she nestled onto her sister's lap, continuing the "baby" routine, and when bf didn't say anything (even though he was as alarmed as I was at the bm holding her like that) I got up and changed seats (so I could "see the game better"). IDK why these times have to be so difficult. I make a point of holding my tongue as much as possible. And then it's like a slap in the face for my bf to comment on my daughter's diet when she eats very well, is not picky at all, etc. I just wish I really knew what makes him do it...
