I have two children and since yesterday was fathers day.. and he has been a big role in their lives it made me upset when my fiancé’s grandmother wished him a happy fathers day and his mother quickly replied, “to what, the dogs?"… it made me feel like she doesn’t expect for him to play a father’s role and it really made me feel as if its the first clue to them not accepting his role in my daughters lives. I’m not sure I should be concerned but this truly bothers me. Do his parents think that his only responsibility in the marriage is with me and not them. How do i approach this?

Will he adopt the girls ? There are many questions that should be answered before you say I do.  We are all trying to make good choices goodluck and God Bless

He has one child, a daughter now 13. The biological mom remarried quickly after the divorce and the new man moved-in with mom and daughter; the child has no problems with that. Dad now remarries 3yrs later, the child likes me and enjoys our time together, but her Mom interferes on our weekends with phone calls, she buys her anything she wants, and prompts the child to schedule activities on Dad’s weekends so she doesn’t keep her weekend visits.  Dad discussed this with Mom and Mom doesn’t care.  She enjoys keeping the child away with these methods.  Note: we aren’t ugly towards Mom, we don’t discuss Mom or the situation causing the divorce around the child or others. So why is she trying to breakup their relationship?

How should we handle this situation?  We need wise advice.
