[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 56369, member: 1550"] I feel that if he's taking care of the kids as much as you are, and not getting paid (I'm assuming) it's inevitable that he's going to speak his mind. I think it's valid that there are too many people, with all the kids, to stay in one place. On the other hand, I feel it's up to you what you share with your husband about the kids. If it becomes too difficult, since your father is actually living with you and also caregiving, you may want to go to family counseling to all three sit down and set boundaries. You can't stop your father from favoring the two well behaved kids who are blood related to him. The only thing you can do is try to explain that he can't show it. There isn't a way to affect what is in his heart--often, sadly, easy child's are favored over difficult child's, even if they ARE blood related, especially with extended family members. Again, I think maybe therapy would help all of you. Remember, Dad is valuable to you. He helps a lot. in my opinion it's best to try to work things out to everyone's satisfaction and so that nobody is upset. JMO [/QUOTE]
