How can I get him to help out with his daughters?
I have recently (7 months ago) moved in with my boyfriend. He’s divorced and has three children living with him (14, 17 and 19 all girls). He’s 43 and I’m 21.
It has been a struggle since day one — the girls are ungrateful brats that have gradually turned me in to an unwilling, beaten-down babysitter and maid. He works crazy hours and I actually have less quality time with him now that I live with him as we are both tired all the time.
I’ve asked him to cut down on his working hours so he can help with the girls, but he has been saying “soon” for months now. Nothing has changed!
How can I get him to help out with his daughters?
His two older daughters are old enough to be your buddies… You shouldn’t be expected to mother kids your own age. You shouldn’t be expected to mother a man that could be your daddy…
My advice? Pack up you stuff and start walking… Don’t stop until you find something more productive and constructive for yourself than being the live-in babysitter, maid and bed warmer. If you decide to stay — make sure you charge by the hour for all your “duties”.
The silver lining if you stay? At least you don’t have to deal with a pimp and get to keep all the dough for yourself!
