Dear Anyone,

I have an issue. Well don't we all, but anyhow, my boyfriend and I have been together for about 10 months, living together for about 9 months. He has two children as do I, both from our previous marriages. The only differnce is that my kids' father is 4 hours away from us and he really has very little communication with my children. As for my boyfriend, his children live about 10 minutes away and we deal with his ex on an everyday basis. If it's not her throwing the children in his face, or using them to make him feel bad, it's her asking for more money on top of the child support he already gives her monthly. I get really bothered when she calls to ask for anything or even when she is calling to remind him that he has kids and that they need him too, not just my kids. My boyfriend has asked me several times to stay out of his business regarding his kids and to respect the fact that he and she will be making decisions. This really makes me mad, and I really want the relationship to work, but how do I just step out of the picture when she calls, or when she needs more money, etc.?

Upset mommy

Vote for Option D   
D:  Arrange for a meeting between your boyfriend, his ex and you to work things out.
