So my partner and I have been together for 2 years and we’ve both recently sold our properties so the logical thing to do would be to move in together right?
A little bit of background, I have a 6yo girl who is low maintenance and loves my partner and loves when we spend time with her alone and with her kids. My partner has a 6yo girl and 3yo boy and they are both attached to their mom, the 6 year old follows her everywhere around the house if she leaves the room, and is very sooky and constantly crying, I’m sure there’s deeper issues here but this is just me trying to explain the situation, the boy is a boy, I have a lot of love for him, but he too is attached to his mom so I don’t ever get alone time with them or time to bond as they need to always be by moms side. We both have the kids 50/50.
She is really keen on moving in together, as was I at first, but we’ve started with the sleepovers to trial it, and going from 1 to 3 kids is tough, I don’t find myself being happy within my own home and feel like I just want to have that quality time with my daughter, and not have the whinging, crying, and the inability to build a relationship with her kids due to their own needs.
I haven’t brought this up yet but I need too soon, I just wanted advice to see if anyone else has been in this situation.
Ps - I try my best with her kids, when we are together I do for them what I do for my daughter, I’ve just found the more time we spend as a blended family, the more I feel like it isn’t for me, and I want it to be.
