I can't stand my partners kids! am I just a nasty person..?

So my partner has 2 children from a previous relationship. A girl of 14 and a boy who's 12. I cannot stand either of them. The girl is an arrogant little brat who thinks she's amazing and the boy is so needy! He constantly needs daddies attention. I find myself giving them dirty looks when they're not looking and normally I end up just locking myself away in the bedroom. They come round 3 times a week and stay over 2 of those times. It drives me crazy. I'm currently 6 months pregnant and I know they're gonna hate the baby.

Anyone got any advice?

They'll hate the baby because they both crave his attention. They hate it when I cuddle him! As soon as I'm near him his boy will be like - come and play xbox with me...

Their mum doesn't work many hours at all so my partner feels he has to provide for them. He's upped there pocket money, gives them separate spending money for clothes...
Whatever she isn't giving them he want to give. I've tried explaining that I'm choosing to go back to work full time to provide for my baby. To give him what he needs... not to up his kids money a bit more. He seems to feel this child needs to be treated the same as his others - which I find unfair. Their raised in different families. It's not my fault the mum is to reliant on my partner now and doesn't work to provide for her kids.

I also wanted our first Christmas together as a family. Me my other half and the baby. But it looks like we're spending Christmas eve, Christmas day and boxing day with his kids.

I just feel like me and the baby are going to feel like outsiders in our own home Sad

Thanks so much for the replies already . I know I need to be an adult about it, but I'm finding it so hard having them here 3 times a week, then my partner working 3 late shifts...
I seem to only have him for a day Sad

You're upset because he wants to spend Christmas with his family (you, him and ALL of his kids)??? :?

What he's planning to do is great.
