Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend is a lot older than me, old enough to be my father. In fact, even his children are older than me and we are uncomfortable with each other when we get together.
Queenie, how can I get them to think of me as part of the family?—Much younger girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
There is not much you can do about your boyfriend’s children’s attitude. It is up to their father to make it clear to his children that he expects them to treat you like part of the family and if they do not, they will be seeing less of him.
