I have been divorced for quite some time and have 2 older children so I know all about the complexities to dating w/children. My bf has 4 children ages 14-almost 21 that he lives near and sees frequently. We have run into multiple issues w/scheduling our time w/the kids overriding on many occasions. While I completely understand when your children have events/times they need you and plans have to be altered, what happened the other day was yet again, I felt an unnecessary altering of our plans. His eldest daughter kept messaging about she wanted him to take her out for sushi. Considering we don't live near one another and I drove 2hrs and we had plans for the day, I did not consider this an urgent event to cut into our plans. He told me he had to do this...and that was that. In this situation am I out of line to think this is yet another instance of him jumping and pushing me aside? So many times we have altered our plans for the kids to have them tell him, 'no Dad, I changed my mind I don't want to do that, see ya.' What are your thoughts as how to work this out or compromise?
