hey my lotters the love of my life have a child from a previous relationship, we are currently living together and his son is living with us but i do not like the child because he tell lies on me. one time his father asked me to buy him a juice to carry to school i did and you know when his father came for him he told his father that i did not buy the juice for him. he tries to make his father upset with me and i do not like him for that. i am thinking of renting on my own because i cannot stand the little boy and i do not want to ill-treat him so the best thing is for me to rent on my own. Could i get some opinion please.

Personally this is Sad when someone does something like this. I guess he does not want to accept the fact of having another man in his life and in his house besides his Dad. Maybe somehow it would be best if you, his mom, and maybe his dad could sit down together and talk about this and see what is the Best thing to do. If it is best for you to move out and give it time that might be the Best as well.

Personally I can see where this situation would be annoying, and personally it might be Best for you to consider moving out while also explaining your situation about why you are moving out, and go from there. If things cannot change and you will always feel this way it might be time to move on, and hope for the Best for them from there. But when children cannot respect you that is not a Good situation to want to be in.

it is because i never ill treat him or let him get hurt i always try to correct him and i guess this is what he does not like because almost everyone else let him get away in doing the wrong thing and i do not.

New relationships sometime have baggage that has to come along with it, in your case there is a child, not sure about the age, but most young children hate their parents' new mate and will do or say just about anything to sabotage the relationship because they are hoping the the parents will reunite and the will be one happy family again. The childless partner should weigh the options before making such a serious decision as moving in with or even marrying a person with a child or children. This situation is not ideal for everyone. I am committed to myself that I would never date someone with small child, too complicate. I don't know how long you were in the relationship before you decided to move in with your love of your life, but if you did know this child before this you should have take time to make friends with the child, allowing him to get to know you better. Maybe if you want the relationship to get better, you should move out and try to strengthen your relationship with the child.

the child is 5yrs and it was never like this his parents were not together when he born so is not like he was accustom seeing them together or anything and he even use to say that he loves me but what happen is that he is very rude and harden and when i try to correct him he does not like that so i do not know if that is why he is behaving like that but i do not tell him anything again as long as he do not trouble anything for me i say nothing to him but i still show him no funny face i make things for him that he likes and help him with his school and everything i love children so i said i guess i will ask persons for help in this situation.

Hi. Des_diva. Welcome to myLot! I am very sorry that this little boy is telling lies on you. I think that you really need to tell his father what he is doing and how you are feeling. If you have to move out into your own place to avoid conflict, then that may be the best thing that you could ever do. I hope that he hears you out and listens to you with an opened mind and an opened heart. If anything his father should try to see your side of the story, because, it would only be fair. His son is trying his best to turn his father against you and that is very wrong.

i know right and what i realise that most person that is posting is saying that i should leave my husband why because his son and i are having a little misunderstanding then again thinking about persons who try to correct children i realise that they do not like you so not sure but definitely will speak with his father this weekend because he will be at his mother this weekend

Honestly I am not in a position to advise just like be patient to a kid or understand him since he is only a kid. But then the only thing I can say is at least you must deal with your husband regarding his son's attitude then do some actions about it. Since the two of you are married I think you have the right to scold a kid if in case that he is still lying. But be contented that at least your husband believes in your claims.

thank you very much and his father was really upset at him for doing that because i practically do everything for the child but it does not bother and i will never hit his child because his mother and i do not communicate but thanks again

Try to talk to the boy why he told lies on you and try to convince him that you like him and would want him to also live with you. Sometimes, it happens because the boy feels insecure as his position in your life, as you are now becoming the love of his father - in his thinking, it is no longer him as the love of his father life.

i figure it is this because he is very selfish he is an only child and was always the center of everything so i feel it is this why he is behaving like this

Well, you are older than him and of course much more mature. Why don;t you try to get close to him?

I guess you should have done this before you live with your husband, i mean you knew from the start that he has a child from other woman, the best way you could do is get the attention of this son and make him love and accept you or else this marriage won't be successful, having a silent war with someone you lived with under one roof is kinda complicated. if you love the man then love his son too, and his son love you too

it was not always like this we always use to get along i do not know if he is jealous when his father and i are talking or what but i knew he had a son we are together 4 years now the problem is not that he has a son but the problem is that the boy tell lies on me how to deal with this

You should have the initiative to get along with the child before you live with or get married with your current love of your life. Children are lovable so you should have shown love and assistance during the first time. If you show them that you care for them they will love you back. And if you love your love of your life, you have to love also those that he loves and that is his child on his previous relationship.

of course i love the child and we do a lot of stuff together but there are times that he lies to his father on me not sure why i do not hit him or rough him up so i guess i will have to pray about this because i am not going to leave my husband because of this

If you choose to love someone with a child, you choose to love everything about him or her and not choose to love the child. Everything about the one you love is a part of him and love is loving every part of that person no matter. This is easier said than done for me that's why I chose a man who doesnt have a child.

i like what you say but we use to get along not sure what brought about the change i even leave so that he can spend time with his father alone so that he does think that i am taking his father away. He was actually living with his grand parents but his father did not like the way in which they were growing him unmannerly so he said that he will live with us so i do not know if it is the change in environment that is why he behaves so because everyone in my family as well likes him.

In the first place why did you think deep in getting in a relationship to a man that has already has a child? but I know we cannot teach our heart.,but in my opinion why not getting the child attention first to like you..we've a lot woman who fall for a man who had a child but they go along better..why not give more time to convince yourself to to get the attention of your husband child first..

excuse me. falling in love with a man with a child has nothing to do with this situation what i am saying is that the child use to like me and then i realise that we do not get along anymore i am asking for opinion on how to deal with this situation and not who i should fall in love with

I guess u need to talk to Ur partner, And I don't think that he would believe what his son did. I don't have an appropriate solution 4 U. But U have to talk to his son and understand why he doesn't like U. But obviously because U took his mother's position in someway (whatever what happened). just try to make him like U. or it'll soon be the end of Ur relationship, seriously

Oh boy you got problem, kids tend to be like that if do't like the person especially if it concern their dad or mom's kids can still see their parents so they don't want a replacement, you better settle things up before it get worse sometimes it's better to anticipate than be sorry,talk to the child along with his father tell the child that you're not taking away anything that's closed to him or her. Let the child understand gradually the situation then by bit by bit he will understand.

But being cute would never be justified for being a liar and mean.
