"In a nut shell I have been single for 10 years by choice and just had fwb. I’m now in a relationship that’s moved fast. We live together in my apartment. My issue is his child. 11 years. She is a great child, no personal issues. How do I get over the fact that I dislike children full stop and I resent her being around so much. I signed up to 2 nights a week but often it’s 3/4. I don’t need slating as I am aware it’s my problem no one else’s. I’m just wondering if anyone who has had a similar struggle could help me work my issues out? " Pushing limits in your place taking advantage. Not acceptable. Let him get his own place sorted with the child and you can visit there. | |||

"I wouldn’t let the child know as none of it’s her fault. I’ve discussed a few times with fella and he tries to keep everyone happy. I just get frustrated. I’m thinking living separately is the only way forward. I don’t like the selfish me but my son is grown up and no longer lives with me. I’ve never been a maternal type sadly " Oh I absolutely understand. I wanted and love my own kids but could never be a foster parent or anything like that. You're not selfish in my opinion children are a huge drain on your physical and emotional resources. | |||

"I haven't had those issues. I don't know how you work it out but don't let the child get a whiff of your resentment. All I can suggest is that you talk to your partner. If you agreed on two night but now it's three or four the boundaries are being pushed." I agree with this, he has put you in a situation you are not happy with, so tell him to reign it in as he has over stepped the mark! Oh, and I don't like kids either, so I wouldn't allow that situation in my life either  | |||

You know, like a grown-up. I find it really odd that some people can claim to "Not like children". Anyone claiming to "not like" any other arbitary section of society would face quite strong criticism. | |||

"Regardless of whether you feel you let on to this little girl or not, I can guarantee she will have picked up on your resentment, and that's wholly unfair on her. You had a choice in starting a relationship with a single father, and you had a choice in moving in with him. I think it shows great integrity on his part that he has his child as often as he can. Arrangements can often be fluid between co-parents over the years as children's needs develop, so in all honesty if there's a "limit" to what you can manage then I don't feel this relationship is right. If you're a step parent, you have to "step" up to the plate, or just not get involved in the first place, is my honest opinion." I agree with this too. | |||

You may not like children, but you'd just have to lump it if you got into a relationship with a guy who has them. I don't think anyone is expecting the OP to be a step mum, in fact if the child has a mother, then the idea that you, as the girlfriend of the father are some sort of step-mum is mildly odd, and you should probably just get over yourself. Oh, and good parents will ALWAYS break "the rules" when if it comes to their child. | |||

"If you "gave up" 18 years of your life (which strikes me as an odd term - you weren't dead), then you'll know all about making sacrifices for your kids. As for not having men in your life because you had a child, that was your decision, which you made for your own reasons. Children don't actually need you as their parent to remain single. | |||

"I think it’s one of those ‘like it, or lump it’ moments. My Step-Mum resented me, I picked up on it and started to get really anxious whenever I knew I had to go and stay. If I’d known my Dad had chosen to see me less over a new relationship, I’d be devastated. | |||

Oh, and good parents will ALWAYS break "the rules" when if it comes to their child. "Of course I would expect a father (if I got into a relationship) to put his child first! That goes without saying to be honest, but to impose his child in my life is not fair to either myself or his child, that is why I suggested he get his own place to live. I am from divorced parents and faced horrible situations due to his wifes jealously (albeit I was 16 at the time)but in a different country with no where else to turn, So no I would never be in that situation, you should make what ever works for both of you, both the dad in this case or the new girlfriend. Just don't move the goalposts is all I am saying, that is not too much to ask if you are living in someone else's home as that is not fair! | |||

"He’s a very good man and parent. I guess I need to move on then. " Move on or accept that your relationship will be limited to an extent. You're being truthful about how you feel and have made it clear that the problem is all yours. It's one of those situations where nobody wins really. | |||

Agree"It's not against the law to not like children. Probably not wise to start a serious relationship with someone with a kid if thats the way you feel tho. | |||

"At the end of the day, you knew he had a kid when you decided to live with him. You made that choice. " If the whole thread is read, the boyfriend moved in with the OP. There is always going to be a ‘for’ and ‘against’ point of view, from both the parent and non parent. Talk to your boyfriend about your feelings, he could have the impression you’re fine with the extra visits as you’ve not said otherwise. It’s all about keeping open communication between you both. | |||

"When you get into a relationship with a man you sign up for his children too. As an adult I would have thought you would know that. " I disagree totally. When you sign up for a relationship with another you sign up for a relationship with that adult. If the person you start a relationship with has children, those children do not become your responsibility. Even if they move in with you they are not your responsibility unless it is discussed and agreed with your new partner. Personally I would NOT mind the child while my partner did something else. If HE has custody he has custody. You don't have to come as a free child minder. | |||

"When you get into a relationship with a man you sign up for his children too. As an adult I would have thought you would know that. I disagree totally. When you sign up for a relationship with another you sign up for a relationship with that adult. If the person you start a relationship with has children, those children do not become your responsibility. Even if they move in with you they are not your responsibility unless it is discussed and agreed with your new partner. Personally I would NOT mind the child while my partner did something else. If HE has custody he has custody. You don't have to come as a free child minder. " I disagree. If a person has a child who they have custody of, one should expect to have to do ones bit if one wants to see the daddy. Maybe it's because I'm an unselfish person, who likes children, that I think that way. I think the best thing would be for him to find someone who does like children, before it gets to an "It's her or me" situation. I've seen that happen and the father give up his child. | |||

"You signed up for 1/2 nights. What planet are you on!! Would you be posting if it was your child that was the younger one being at home more?? He comes as a package and you knew that. Access arrangements change." She's probably on THIS planet. If a couple split there is usually a custody arrangement. If she doesn't have custody she doesn't have responsibility for the child. If I moved a male into my home he needs to agree with me what days the child can be over. It's not the other way around. If he has full time custody it would be different. It sounds to me like he sees her when he can. Hardly the relationship the that O.P. thought she was getting. | |||

"She doesn’t live with us just to clarify. I made my feelings very clear before him moving in but the goalposts have changed to dramatically for me. I don’t dislike her at all she is lovely and I enjoy time with her but it’s too much time now" I think moving him out is the best thing. See him when he’s free and that way you get your time alone with him and he gets time alone with his daughter. I’d make some serious decisions about the relationship though. | |||

"Regardless of whether you feel you let on to this little girl or not, I can guarantee she will have picked up on your resentment, and that's wholly unfair on her. You had a choice in starting a relationship with a single father, and you had a choice in moving in with him. I think it shows great integrity on his part that he has his child as often as he can. Arrangements can often be fluid between co-parents over the years as children's needs develop, so in all honesty if there's a "limit" to what you can manage then I don't feel this relationship is right.

She is NOT her step mum.
Her new man has a daughter. "Where do you think the relationship is going to ultimately progress too, if it continues? Is she going to end it now? Probably better to do so imo. Become a resentful Step mum? Or Grow up and realise that she needs to be an adult about her involvement with the child of a partner... she Chose!!! | |||

"Did he leave his wife's house to move in with you ? No they had split 18 months before Good. Then he moved in with you to be with you. Don't take to heart most of the comments made on here. From what I can see you and he need to speak about what access he has to his daughter. It's your house and your life. ( im assuming he's not on any rent book or isn't owning with you ) Discuss with him that his daughter is welcome 2 nights a week. Emergencies and one offs are different of course. You're not her mum and you are not responsible for her. If she lived with him things would be different. You would have taken them both on im sure.

"Her mum takes the mickey she wants her freedom that’s the only reason she needs to come to us more! It’s not that she wants to come more. I think some of you have a very black & white view. I’m not an unpaid babysitter to enable her mother to go get d*unk. She cheated and left but now realises it’s hard being a single parent. I’m happy to help out more every now again but this is too much. I’m clearly a complete butch fir wanting a reasonable amount of me time after my son has grown up. I didn’t need to be told it’s not an ideal situation I found myself in but I did and have hence me looking for advise how to keep all 3 of us happy " In that case, the poor kid needs a stable dad more than ever. I understand feeling cheated because you signed up for something else, but arrangements with young children are rarely black and white. What if something happened to the mother and she had to live with her father full time? These are things that need to be considered when young children are involved. | |||

"I haven't had those issues. I don't know how you work it out but don't let the child get a whiff of your resentment. All I can suggest is that you talk to your partner. If you agreed on two night but now it's three or four the boundaries are being pushed. I agree with this, he has put you in a situation you are not happy with, so tell him to reign it in as he has over stepped the mark! Oh, and I don't like kids either, so I wouldn't allow that situation in my life either
To be honest, anyone getting into a relationship with me would know I have a child and, like most parents, I adore my child. The very notion that having her 3/4 days a week is somehow pushing boundaries and that an actual grown adult could consider it "unacceptable" would leave me speechless.
Life sometimes doesn't go how you want it to, get over it. Either accept his child more often or get out of the relationship.
I don't claim to "love children", but I would certainly accept a partners child/children without question and if they made my life a tad inconvenient, well, I'd deal with it. You know, like a grown-up.
I find it really odd that some people can claim to "Not like children". Anyone claiming to "not like" any other arbitary section of society would face quite strong criticism. " | |||

"Regardless of whether you feel you let on to this little girl or not, I can guarantee she will have picked up on your resentment, and that's wholly unfair on her. You had a choice in starting a relationship with a single father, and you had a choice in moving in with him. I think it shows great integrity on his part that he has his child as often as he can. Arrangements can often be fluid between co-parents over the years as children's needs develop, so in all honesty if there's a "limit" to what you can manage then I don't feel this relationship is right. If you're a step parent, you have to "step" up to the plate, or just not get involved in the first place, is my honest opinion." Well said. | |||

When I met my husband I knew he had two sons. We used to have them every other weekend, then every weekend because their mum needed a break. She never worked a day in her life whilst I worked full time. The boys were good kids and I was proud of my ex for being part of his sons lives but I grew to secretly resent them. I was just honest with my husband. I told him I understood he needed to be part of their lives and he could see them whenever but I didn't want them every weekend. Because I hadn't said anything he thought it was ok. My daughter is in a similar situation with her partner and his two sons. They've just had a baby and live in a one bed flat. Add to teenage boys and it gets crowded. Talk to your partner especially as it's your home: why be miserable in your own home, you'll only end up loathing both of them. Good luck. | |||

If she was selfish and not thinking of the child then it would be her way or no way. I agree kids come first, my kids still come first at 24 and 22, and if my partner had children then so would their child, however I have not the right to tell anyone else how they should feel. Give the lady a break, she is trying to find an amicable solution which benefits everyone. Good look OP. Hope this situation gets resolved quickly and cleanly. | |||

We're the shoe on the other foot and I decided that a partner could move in with me, she'd pay half the rent and I'd consider it our home after that and not my home. Also, by "do one" I meant the relationship would be over, not that I would assume possession of a property. | |||

This person has reached out for some advice and really what she has got was a lot of opinions. She has said she likes the young girl but did not expect this situation to impact on her life so much. Her partner has a child that needs caring for and although i feel the extra days that the daughter is staying goes with the territory, i also feel op has a point. Op doesnt want thw relationship to end and instead has just changed the living arrangements which in the long run may have a more positive outcome on the relationship of all three people involved. So it looks lile op may have seen the bigger picture. | |||

I was a 12 year old stepdaughter when my mum re married . Was a very difficult time As he had 3 grown up children he never wanted me in his life. He wasn’t a good dad. Turned out he was a bully used to hit my mum.worst 6 years of my life till he died. Even then he left us homeless. I suspect him leaving is probably the best thing for you all. I do want to pass a comment on you saying you gave up your life for 18 years . How sad you felt your child was such a burden and that you think at 18 parenting stops. I have such a special relationship with my son now coming up 40 I still parent. Help him out buy treats have holidays. My life would be so empty without him.

"I can only see this going one way if you attempt to cut his contact with his child in half and it has to be said, quite rightly so. The reality is if he did, his daughter is 11 and would most likely know that you are the reason for that which in turn would likely cause them a lifetime of issues within their relationship. For me, that would never be worth it but in the same token, you have a right to your own happiness and if this isnt something that makes you happy, then I think you may need to accept that this isn’t the right relationship for you.

To be honest, anyone getting into a relationship with me would know I have a child and, like most parents, I adore my child. The very notion that having her 3/4 days a week is somehow pushing boundaries and that an actual grown adult could consider it "unacceptable" would leave me speechless.
Life sometimes doesn't go how you want it to, get over it. Either accept his child more often or get out of the relationship.
I don't claim to "love children", but I would certainly accept a partners child/children without question and if they made my life a tad inconvenient, well, I'd deal with it. You know, like a grown-up.
I find it really odd that some people can claim to "Not like children". Anyone claiming to "not like" any other arbitary section of society would face quite strong criticism. "I have full custody of my son so anyone coming into my life would have to accept that. I have been single 6 years tho so not sure what that says lol | |||

" Whining about a Partners child on a Swingers website? FFS. People seem to be losing their sense of reality. She was asking advice, it is allowed. Just as you are allowed to post on politic threads, the site isn't just about swinging." I don’t see the connection. A child is a completely innocent third party who doesn’t even have a say in this discussion. Adults die hating politics, religion and war amongst themselves is rather different. Adults protect themselves on here through anonymity and the OP has asked for advice from strangers on a sex site about how to deal with a third party. innocent child. If she was in a relationship, you would expect that the other party was on here too, if he wasn’t, what was she doing living with someone and being on here as a single person? By any measure of rationale, talking about other people’s children on an anonymous sex website is not really good form. Can you imagine the headlines that this would make in the regular Press?... “Sexual perverts discuss inconvenience of kids.” The future of an entirely innocent child should be discussed between people who are directly involved in that child’s life and not amongst strangers. It is not like asking for advice about holidays, gardening or dieting because the subject matter is an innocent child. | |||

Not really, it's the OP's feelings about a child being in her home more than she agreed to. Well, she's not now, I guess the father took offence.  | |||

"To be honest, if I had my daughter a couple of days a week and suddenly was able to have her 3/4, I would and if I was in a relationship, they could either like it or do one. " Got to agree here you took him and his daughter on when you got together and should be supporting him , if you can’t then I would leave he and his child are a package and to make him choose between you and his daughter is pretty awful IMO . | |||

" She didn't, she asked how to deal with her own feelings. No personal information was given other than the child stays over with her dad. The OP's reasons of being on here have nothing to do with you to be fair. As I say, most subjects can be discussed on the forum and this one didn't break any rules | |||

It's a little paranoid to say that you can't discuss issues around children on a sex site. As long as children aren't identified of course. | |||
