My current fiance' 3 boys constantly talk back, act out, do not listen, etc. Her middle child recently got suspended from 1st grade??? Their father who, gets them every other weekend, constantly talks bad about their mother saying the reason he doesn't take them anywhere or do things with them is because he's broke from paying their mother. In return, when the kids come back from their dads house each weekend and work we've done as far as correcting their behavior is no erased and we get kids (none older than 9) that talk back, slam doors, etc. As a step-father-to-be I try and speak with the kids. I tell them this is not the way to act. (I have 4 of my own well behaved from a previous marriage) I worry when my kids come over that they try and pick up these bad habits. My fiance's kids really stree me out however since I work a lot during the week I hardly have any interaction. She tries her best but the dad erases any work we do every other weekend. I am setting myself up here?
