Hi I'm a sahm of 3 girls ages 5 and under. I have quite the battle with my fiancé, he called me on his way home from work and asked me if I could watch his oldest son who is 7 for 3 days. I would have said yes but he is not you average everyday little boy. He is on 5 different meds for what they think is bipolar, he is very violent, and sneaky and will hurt my girls and deny it. I know its not his fault but I just can't handle him. I feel bad that I said no, and now he is really mad at me. I did explain to him why I couldn't watch him, I have my hands full as it is with my own 3. Am I wrong for saying no?

absolutely not! your job is protecting yourself and your girls! i would feel bad if i were in your position too, but like i said, you have to look out for the saftey of you and the girls, FIRST!

Thanx Chevonne! I needed advice from someone who isn't family. I think he is so mad because my oldest who is 5 isn't his bio child, and he took her as his own when she was 4 months old, her real father moved away and really wants nothing to do with her. That may be the reason I feel so bad about it, but on the other hand he is a very difficult child to deal with. He also has 2 other boys from different mothers who come every other weekend to stay. He barely watches them and I feel like I am the one taking care of 6 kids by myself. I really don't know how much moire I can take, I do love him very much but it seems like HE comes before everything. Example; we r struggling with what little money we have and he took it upon himself to buy a new motorcycle last week! And now he is getting mad cause the kids are running into his time where he could be out riding. Just this past sunday he flipped out because his oldest boys mother wasn't home early enough so he could drop him off and go riding with his friends. I don't know what to do anymore, I'm getting to the point where I'm fed up with all the bs!

the first thing i would ask you is how old he is...but then i rememered that some men simply never grow up, something i learned the hard way! you will know when enough is enough, i know b/c  i learned the hard way! with me, i figured i could do bad all by myself. it was like he was there but he wasn't. the way i figured it, it would be 1 less "child" to take care of, and i would get more assistance with it just being me and the children. sure, i would be sad for a while, but eventually, i would get over it! especially with the children to distract me and keep me company. it only made sense to me. nodody to make me cry, nobody to argue with, and the worst was someone who should have been helping yet having to do everything myself. it was like having an older special needs child. :O what i did was literally make a list of pro's and con's then weighed them out. i had many more con's than pro's...so i think you know what i did, but that's just what i did, not advice for you.
