Second marriage and kid problems!

Oh Boy…KIDS!!!
Oh Boy…KIDS!!!
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
My wife and I have been married for 28 years. This is the 2nd marriage for both of us and we’ve always been very much in love.
We each have 2 children from our first marriage. My kids are great to her. Her kids don’t even acknowledge my birthday or ever ask about me when they call. It’s like I don’t exist.
This has always bothered me and I’m finding that the last few months I’m starting to make rude remarks to my wife about her kids and making myself scarce when they come over.
I don’t want this to affect our marriage.
What the heck should I do?
Dear What The Heck:
Why the heck didn’t you bring this issue up a long time ago? If you had, things might be different today. No sense in crying over insensitive kids now.
Sounds like you and your wife have a great relationship. It’s OK if you want to let her know how you’ve felt all along. However, do it in a loving way and then let it go. Fair warned is fair armed: Do not bring it up again.
Don’t ruin your relationship by allowing resentment to take over. If you continue obsessing about it, at the end, the loser will be you.
