Dating her for 1.5yrs and referring to himself as a 'step parent" even though they aren't married
That's not what I was asking.

see what I'm getting at here.
I do, but that is what led to my post.
I sacrifice alot - as I think any step parent does. But at the same time, was it really THAT out of line to rather spend my morning in a different way?

You aren't a step parent... You're just banging their mom.

By now you should’ve already been in them drawers so why you still hanging around?

Why in the hell would you date someone with two kids? Insane.

OK - for those hung up on 'step parent' does it change things we are engaged and moving in together?

Yeah
You were in the wrong

Ok...yea. But in this post the guy is basically asking if he was wrong for not wanting to watch a video that clearly made his SO happy and wanted to share with him. If she wanted to spend hours watching home movies of these kids I would totally be on this guys side in saying...hey I really don't wanna spend my Christmas this way. But I really don't see how it would have ruined his day to spend 5-10 minutes sharing in his SO's happiness watching her kids enjoy the day. The same way I really don't want to spend anytime on the phone with my mother-in-law, but it makes my wife happy.... it's only a few minutes and it's not going to ruin my whole damn day to do it.

Probably. But I keep it clean and smelling real good

You're not wrong. Women will talk shite about their exs, but had enough good times to have kids with them.
She should be thankful that you want to be a part of her kids lives.
Tell her that it was only meant to suggest that you don't want to see the guy that wasn't good enough, but happy the kids are doing well. And id tell her that if she didn't like that, she could always try to find better - which is probably not going to happen. I don't know you, but you obv have to be better than her kids father. If she isn't thankful, you find better.

Agreed. And it's two young kids. We're not talking about two 60-somethings with grown children in the picture. This is a (apparently) young guy with his own resources who is voluntarily tying himself down to someone looking to exploit someone else's resources to raise her two kids. Unbelievable.

If you are this adverse to seeing them enjoy their Christmas morning, no...

Because while she was happy that her kids were having a good time, she was probably missing them. She was looking for some love and support from you. You failed.
Trust me, we have a blended family and Christmas is either the worst or the best, depending on where kids are.

Pull up the Facebook page of the last girl you were with and ask your SO to look through her photos with you, saying things like “doesn’t she look happy?!”

You are right. It wouldn't have ruined my day and I could have done just that. I just didn't think it would be an issue and my point was valid.
However, with the input of the OT apparently I'm incorrect, have a lot to learn about a step parent role, and should be wiser on picking my battles (although I didn't see it as a battle)

I hear you, and I don't disagree per se. I just can't focus on his splinter and sore finger because he also has a gashing head wound that's bleeding profusely.

Well she should be, since she isn’t with him .

What would have been more painless? Watching a few 1-minute video clips and saying “aww how great”- or the path you took?
You would have been done in 3 minutes. Now you’ll be hearing about it for three weeks.
And you were being a dick by the way.
