Name: young step mum
[ Original Post ]
My partner of 6yrs has 2 teenage boys that have lived with us for nearly 3 yrs. He is 36 i am 25 and the boys are 14 & 17. Needless to say some times things are though.
My partner works for the same company as i do but as a manager in a different location his 17yr old wants to work for him but is not allowd due to policy. So he suggests that he work with me as that is allowed.
Am i being selfish by saying no? I feel that is my space to go and work, i dont want to live and work with him.

I think you're right! It's the one thing you have away from home all to yourself and it should be okay for you to say that. I hope you can find a way to tell this to your partner in a way that won't cause any porblems, soemtimes that can be tricky. Good Luck!

no you need to tell him you need your own time, especially at work. i don't blame you one bit. it is very hard working with family. i know because i do. please stand your ground. maybe there is another division that he could work in, not directly with you. believe me it is hard to work with family, so please try to explain that to your husband. you love the boys, but it is rough. good luck girl!

Turnip (Brassica rapa L.) is a root Brassica crop and has been used as a vegetable for human consumption in Europe since prehistoric times. Turnip root has been a popular livestock fodder for at least 600 years wherever the crop can be grown. For most of that time turnip roots have been managed as forage. Researchers in the United States determined in the early 1900s that turnip roots are valuable energy sources for young ruminant animals. However, livestock farmers at that time were turning away from the Brassica root crops (which also include rutabagas or swedes) for fodder because much hand labor was required for the production and utilization of the large roots. One study showed that the labor requirement on a nutrient basis for these crops was three times that needed for corn silage production.

Put your foot down. Just say no. He can find a job somewhere else and I am sure your place is not the only job in town. If its against the rules for him to work with his dad then it is also against the rules to work with his other mom. Keep the tiny little space that you have away from home as none of us need to take home to work. Stay strong and don't give in.

You are absolutely NOT being selfish. Putting your step son in a work situation with you could cause big problems, especially since you aren't that far apart in age, he may not respect your authority. I'd stick to your guns.

you could try to explain to him that in a work situation that it is better not to have the other employees think that you are giving him preferential treatment because it would make things harder for both of you you could also explain that the two of you and his father working for the same company would keep him from advancing. hang in there i have a step dad that is only 10 years older than me and my friends are mostly closer to his age and he showed me that hard work and love can make a family work he also showed me that hard work(physical and mental)and tough love can help create respect in a situation where it may be lacking we have a great relationship now
