I have been with my fiance for just over a year now. He has 3 teen daughters (twin 13 year olds and a 15 year old) that live with their mom. These girls are very hyper due to having ADD/ADHD (one of them has both, the others each have one or the other; the one with both is also a bit developmentally delayed). We both love these girls very much and are protective of them.
The problem is that anytime my fiance is around them, he tells them to be quiet so he can watch the TV, won't play with them (such as rough house, which they want to do, play video games, etc). When he has them in the car, he tells them to be quiet, or to shut up, because he is driving. The girls are very upset that they don't know their dad because he won't spend actual time with them. Instead, he goes and pays their allowance, etc, stays for a few minutes, then leaves. How are they supposed to get to know him that way?? Their mom and I talk about 1-2 times a month, or more. She has asked me to talk with him.
