My fiancee has two children from a previous marriage, ages 9 and 12. When we first got together, me and the kids hit it off immediately, and I was relieved that we got along so well. I take his daughter shopping at the mall, take them both out to eat, and buy little gifts for them from time to time, just because I genuinely like them so much. But lately, I have started sensing some sort of resistance or resentment from them. They won't listen to me when I tell them small things, like, "please brush your teeth" or "please put on your seatbelt" and things like that. When their father isn't here, they do as they please, and I have heard them talking on the phone saying unflattering things about me to their friends, and even to their father. I don't "tattle" on them, but I DO tell my fiancee when I feel that I have been grossly disrespected. he talks to them about it and makes them apologize, but then they just do it all over again another day. Why the sudden change?
