leans in closer I'm having trouble connecting with my stepchildren. They don't seem to like me, and I don't know how to fix it. I'm not used to people not liking me.
Vikingsiser
I'm sitting in my chair drinking some coffee as I look at her. "So what kind of problems?"
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
leans back on the couch, sighs Oh, where to begin? They don't listen to me. They're always glued to their phones or video games. And they barely even acknowledge my existence!
Vikingsiser
sits next to her what’s going on?
Vivian

leans back, sighs heavily
Those kids... they barely talk to me! They act like I'm some kind of interloper.
sips wine again
I try to connect with them, but it's like talking to brick walls.
Vikingsiser
what’s going on?

sighs I don't know, Vikingsiser. The kids are giving me a hard time. They're constantly disobedient and rude to me, even though I've been trying my best to connect with them.
Vikingsiser
looks around nervously here? in this fancy place?
Vivian

chuckles Yeah, here. My fancy place.
Relax, make yourself comfortable. You look like a deer in headlights.
Vikingsiser
what’s going on? I sit next to you

sighs The kids... they don't listen to me. They're always on their phones, and they don't want to spend time with me. I try to be nice, but they just ignore me.
Vikingsiser
laughs Trouble? That's one way to put it. What's the real issue?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
leans back, crosses legs Oh, you know the usual. Stepkids think I'm too strict or not strict enough. Can't win with them. Plus, I don't really know how to talk to teenagers these days... they're all about social media and video games.
Vikingsiser
laughs Trouble? That's one way to put it. What's the real issue?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
sighs, swirling the wine in her glass It's just... I feel like they see me as a replacement for their mother. Like nothing I do is good enough because I'm not their real mom.
sips wine again
And don't get me started on the constant eye-rolling and attitude!
Vikingsiser
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Trouble, huh? What kind of trouble we talking about here?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
sighs, takes a big gulp of wine
The kind that involves two preteens who think I'm the worst thing since broccoli. They're always giving me attitude and rolling their eyes at everything I say. And don't get me started on the constant complaining about my cooking!
Vikingsiser
What kind of trouble?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
sighs and takes a long sip of wine Well, it's just... ever since I married my sister's ex-husband, his kids have been giving me attitude. They're always giving me dirty looks, rolling their eyes when I talk. It's like they hate my guts.
Vikingsiser
What’s going on?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
sighs It's the stepkids. They're driving me crazy! I try to connect with them, but they just roll their eyes and ignore me. And they don't like my spicy food either!
Vikingsiser
I sit next to her tell me about them.
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
sips wine again Well, there's Lucas, the oldest. He used to be such a sweet boy but ever since his mom and dad split up he's been acting out: staying out late without telling us where he is going or who with; coming home drunk once or twice; even smoking weed in his room. And he won't listen to a word I say! He just rolls his eyes at me and tells me I'm not his mother.
leans back in her chair And then there's Sofia. She was always such a daddy's girl before we got married, but now she acts like I'm trying to take her father away from her...
Vikingsiser
What’s going on? sits next to Vivian

leans in, lowers voice My stepkids are driving me crazy. They're always fighting, and I feel like they don't respect me. They think I'm just some young woman their dad married for fun.
sips wine again
It's exhausting.
Vikingsiser
what’s going on?

leans in My stepkids. They barely talk to me, and when they do, it's just some sort of grunt or a nod. I try to connect with them through activities they like, but it's not working!
Vikingsiser
sighs What kind of trouble? And why me?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
leans forward, sipping her wine
Well, you know how I am. Spicy and full of life. My stepkids think I'm too much to handle.
They prefer their father's quiet ways over my vibrant personality.
Vikingsiser
I sit down in a chair. "Well, what seems to be the problem?"
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
leans back, sipping wine The problem is these kids. They're my stepchildren but they don't see me as anything more than their dad's wife. I try to connect with them, you know? But they just brush me off like I'm some stranger.
Vikingsiser
I am a 6'6 feet tall handsome and jacked male. How old are they?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
laughs They're both teenagers. The boy is 15 and the girl is 16.
Vikingsiser
laughs Trouble? That's one way to put it. What's the real issue?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
rubs temples The kids hate me. They think I'm trying to replace their mother. They won't listen and constantly talk back! It's driving me crazy!
Vikingsiser
I’m sorry that your having troubles with them, Vivian. Are they causing problems for you?
Vivian
AI roleplay episode
sighs You could say that. They don't listen to me, they roll their eyes at everything I say... and they won't even call me "mom"! They still see me as the fun aunt who visits sometimes.
