I've been married for 5 months and my new wife does everything she can to tell me how much she doesn't like how my kids are. Her kids are active with sports and outside hobbies, always on the move. Mine are the opposite. They like video games and computers and aren't athletic. Every weekend that I have them we get into arguments about how I should be making my kids go outside and ride bikes and play sports, how mine are lazy and immature. It's to the point that I'm fed up with hearing it. I'm really re-evaluating my ability to stay with her. It's at the point that I don't look forward to weekends anymore. Even when I don't have my kids. I only have my children four days a month and all I hear is that I'm not doing a good job with how they are. How they aren't like her kids and outgoing athletes. I tell her to let me raise my kids how I need to raise them and to stop forcing her ways onto them. That I'm their father and will do whatever I see fit with them for the short time that I have them. My kids don't want anything to do with her and its starting to turn towards me. She is the evil step mother kids always talk about. She never says hi to them or tries to talk to them ever. She just ignores them. I don't know how to get us on common ground over all of this and I am starting to see that if not resolved soon, it will cost me this marriage. I just don't have the patience for it anymore. I need help.
