Wow, this is becoming a huge issue lately. Blending 2 families with children at age 4, 11 (Asperger's), 15, 17. The 11 and 17 are siblings. The issue I am having is the way my 11 year old talks to me and the 4 year old of my spouse. He talks down and very nasty and condescending. He has no patience for this child at all. No resentment, just doesn't care for a almost 5 year old. Doesn't like the child hanging around him and such. Anyway, I am pondering alternating weekends so the two don't have the same weekends here. They will still have a day or two during the week together here and there. I hate to do this but it is just entirely just so difficult to handle this situation over and over again. This, of course would be fine with my son as he finds the 4 year old annoying as heck and likes it best when he is here without him.
Is this wrong to do this? This is 1 of 4 kids and I feel like we need to think of everyone in this situation. Any advise is appreciated.
