In a relationship with a man who has two tween children, a woman navigates feelings of attachment to his kids while respecting boundaries. After returning from a business trip, she greets his dogs enthusiastically, causing a conflict when her boyfriend feels she ignored his children. She believes in keeping a healthy distance to avoid resentment rather than forcing a maternal role. The relationship is complicated by her boyfriend's expectations, highlighting the challenges faced in blending families and the dynamics of parental relationships.
"His kids are not my kids and have perfectly good parents. If I tried to push a maternal relationship, it would just make the kids resent me."
"I told him that was bullshit. You can't even compare that. His kids are not my kids and have perfectly good parents."
