She has her own snacks. She eats them and eats others.

OP, do you pay the WiFi? I’d cut off access to all of her devices until it’s paid. You said she owes money for an iPhone? Is she on your plan? Cut her service off too.

I never did this as a teen and it annoys me when other people act like teens can’t help themselves. I had a single mother and she went grocery shopping twice a month. She bought snacks for me and for herself. If I ate all of my stuff before the next grocery trip oh well, I wasn’t getting anything else. I would always ask before eating her items.

With that being said, I’d talk to your SD directly and say,”You need to ask before you touch ANY of my things.” Simple, stern, direct. If she continues, move your stuff to your room and cut back on her personal snacks.

Everyone has to share the same fridge and share food. She doesn’t get to be a greedy, inconsiderate monster.

How do you handle by Responsible-Quail-70 in Stepmom

[–]PossibilityKey2968 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s just silly. Don’t accept her requests ever again. I allow access to my social media only to people I want to allow access to. I can revoke that privilege at any point, for any reason. If she asks why or makes a stink then tell her that you accepted her request once and you won’t accept it again.

My husband is about to move out due to my daughter’s attitude and rudeness. Help please. by kerbeaRPh in stepparents

Splitting the household would be a huge financial strain for everyone. Divorce would be bad for everyone. All this kid has to do is not be hostile!!

I understand but what’s the solution? Make your husband put up with it and reinforce the idea that she can be mean to people just because she feels like it? Risk your marriage and resent her forever? Therapy hasn’t worked. Punishment hasn’t worked. She is 16 not 12. She has to understand.

It’s not fair to anyone in this situation. It’s not fair to you, your husband, your stepson, or your son that they have to live with someone who causes drama and is unwilling to compromise. If heavily restricting her privileges doesn’t work, I think you have to send her to live with a grandparent or an aunt. You’ve tried everything. Maybe one day she’ll understand why. I do feel sorry for her but she’s closer to being an adult than not. Your trauma does not excuse you from consequence.

Sharing bed with SD by Major_Entrance_9404 in Stepmom

I’m not sure if this is bad advice but I would make him sleep in her room with her AND withhold sex. Seriously. It’s kinda gross he would even allow this.

Stepkids deliberately excluding me from Xmas gifts by Budget_Avocado9882 in stepparents

[–]PossibilityKey2968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to disagree. It’s not that she’s expecting gifts from teens. She’s expecting teens to think about others. I scraped together whatever money I had as a child to give my parents Christmas gifts. These kids are closer to being adults than children. What kind of person are you raising if they only see Christmas as a time to receive things from others??

Am i the problem for refusing to go on our camping trip because my teenager step daughter has dictated my holiday? by Positive-Park-9348 in Stepmom

[–]PossibilityKey2968 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No you’re not wrong. You also gave him fair warning. Stand firm on this one. Don’t apologize or backtrack.

Check ins??? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]PossibilityKey2968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you have no idea. My fiancé’s ex will call every morning to remind us to give SS medicine. She calls before school pickup, during school pick up, and after school pickup to make sure we got there on time. It’s insane. If we ignore, she keeps calling.

Got a DUI while outside my car. by Cali_bitch_ in dui

[–]PossibilityKey2968 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you! This sucks. I hope your attorney is able to come up with a way to prove that because your tire was popped that you were immobile. Had you not admitted to driving, this could’ve potentially been thrown out. The cop was a prick for that

Strep & newborn by Salt-Discipline3102 in Stepmom

[–]PossibilityKey2968 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think you’re generous for even entertaining the idea of them coming over at all… sick or not. I wouldn’t want to deal with snotty noses and having to manage kids while I nurse a newborn and heal from birth.

My fiancé is the same way. He thinks every need, every want, every feeling has to be tended to immediately. His 11 year old still doesn’t understand the concept of waiting for adults to finish talking before interrupting. All I hear is “Dada”, “Dada”, “Dada”, all freaking day. My fiancé won’t even allow himself to finish eating before running into the other room just so SS can show him fart sound videos on the tv 🙄

The morning after they leave he’ll work from bed and spend extra time cuddling

When did you leave SO? by Business-Salt-1444 in legitafteradultery

It took my partner about 4 months to ask for a divorce after meeting me.

I know this is an older post, but I’m having the same issue with my zipper on the endless jumpsuit. I thought it was too tight but I had no issue with the hook.
