MY dad only died in February. Now my stepmother has asked if she can bring her new toy boy to my caravan.

We spend August by the sea with the kids.

But the caravan is small and

I really don’t want a complete stranger taking up more of the room.

I just think this is so insensitive.

Why is she putting me under this pressure so soon after my dad’s death?

Yes, I accept that she deserves some happiness now, but why can’t she find somewhere of her own to hang out?

I’ve met this new lover once. He’s nice enough, but he’s only a few years older than my son.

I certainly don’t need two more mouths to feed or the stress.

JANE SAYS: I urge you to stay strong and tell your stepmother that you are still grieving for your father and she’s expecting too much, too quickly.

Her new man may be a lovely chap, but you just want a restful summer with the kids.

Tell her she’s more than welcome to pop down for the weekend, but she’ll have to find a local hotel because you don’t have the space.

Also, do you really want a newly loved-up couple sleeping just inches away from your children?

Can’t she work out what is and isn’t appropriate at this very sensitive time?

And it’s not your job to cook her meals or house her lover when you already have so much on your plate.
