They are teens, girl 15, boy 17. I have been with their dad for 7 yrs and married 2 yrs. They live with us every other week. They talk to their mom like she is their slave. She does anything they want her to, including lying for them.
Their father has rules, but is very loving to them.
The problem is how they treat me when he is not around.
Disrespectful, rude, and downright mean sometimes.
Then when their father is around they act nice. Their Dad is aware of it but can't do much if he isn't there. I have tried to confront them but they argue and deny. I feel sorry for their mother when they are with her, but feel she created this mess. I don't know if I should get tough, or just avoid them. Any ideas?
