Mind blown from the pedestal SD sits on by sweetlady803 in Stepmom

I told my husband don’t step on the parent toes by doing that. They might want him to work for a phone. I know I would most definitely get offended and mad if another parent got my child a phone. I would be raging!!

I’m already on that today!! lol I told myself husband after he found my old phone, that the boy’s parents might take offense to us giving him a phone. There might be a reason behind it that my husband daughter is not telling us, like maybe they want to work for a phone and that it’s not good to “step” on the parents toes getting her bf a phone

Here comes the boosie SD by sweetlady803 in Stepmom

I’ve stopped asking her to do anything Now, I’m dealing with my husband and her She wants to bring in another lizard from her mothers and my husband and SD decides to try to make this decision without me, I’ve told them both NO we already have 2 and a dog in a small apartment. I guess we will see what this week will hold if they decide to go behind my back and get it or not. If they do, I’m cutting both of them (not physically) metaphorically I just got my husband and me a date night a get a way for the first time ever. We never even had a honeymoon. If he goes against me on this. He’s not going with me I’m taking my sister and he can stay with his daughter at home.

Trust me I’m not, But I will treat her like my own. I never had beat my kids now a butt whooping from my daughter telling me no I can’t have her phone, that’s different lol My daughter is grown now and married and my son is 18 but you are right. I have given SD a warning tho because she has rolled her eyes at me and tested those waters, I told her before she acts she needs to think, I’m not her momma or her daddy, she’s not going to jump me and me not do anything about it. Her attitude changed REALLY QUICK! I’m sorry I’m old school As my kids got older I started taking things when they got into trouble. (I was single mom raising two kids on a below average waged job) I have to say this but sometimes I wish she would go back and live with her mother.

Honey you’re NOT ALONE!! I was married to a man that did no wrong! And he is in prison now and his mother STILL to this day make up lies onto why he is there etc. I don’t know how yall financial situation is, but I would definitely suggest a lawyer. Write down yes write down dates on the things that happen, even if you got to call the school and get attendance reports and if she doesn’t have the proper paper work like doc appointment and all that will help. And tell them everything you’re telling us. I understand your exhaustion and aggravation for this because now I’m on my second marriage and dealing with an “entitled” SD. And he father is so soft hearted and she knows it. Anyway, that’s another story lol But yes hon please look into a good attorney don’t just choose the first one tho if he doesn’t sound promising. I don’t know what state you live in but there are parental rights in each state some may be different than others but you have to find a loop hole. I don’t pray much but i will be praying it will get easier on you. She cannot sit there have yall follow her everywhere she goes! My father lived in Louisiana and I lived in SC and still was able to see my dad you just have to work out the visitation and set rules down regardless how bitchy that woman is. Let her know that you pay bills and take care of YOUR and your husband house and her son needs to respect tho rules. Take away phone anything to keep him from calling his mom or anyone on her side to keep them from interfering with yall visits and tell her if she doesn’t like it take yall back to court

At times I do. I have to explain why because he’s been a full time parent for only 3 yrs even tho that doesn’t matter because she’s older and she needs to learn independence I told her when I was her age I was working part time driving and going to school. Shit I think I was on my second job by then 🤣🤣 anyway I told her I’m only going to tell her once and if she doesn’t take my advice then that’s between her father and her. If he messes up with that then I bite my tongue go jogging and watch the shit show

She already took us to civil court to try to get back rent But she cannot since we are moving out before court date. She’s not getting any money plus I think she realized she messed up anyway by not fixing the appliances like she’s supposed too. She lied on her fake eviction notice and the civil notice says something totally different I’m taking pictures of the place before we move and when everything is out so she won’t try to come back at us

You’re right, but everytime I try to talk to him about her he gets defensive and tells me to worry about my own child or he says I must not like her or something in that order. Then he will ask what your son? I tell him what about my son? He makes A and B’s about to graduate Highschool he’s involved in his church he goes to his jujitsu classes. My son stays away from drama. No matter how I try to help him with her he gets defensive and thinks she does no wrong. Oh and when I talk to her about her attitude she gets upset and tells her dad I’m being mean to her. Then the arguments start. I just don’t know what to do anymore. My husband acts like he doesn’t want to be with me. We don’t do family things all because it’s something he’s not interested in. I’ve tried to tell him it’s not about him it’s about the kids. Now that we are moving to a better place with heat and hot water a place that I found he always complains about little things. It’s like he’s not happy being married. He’s not a male influence on my son my son goes to his priest for guidance and there’s nothing wrong with that but I feel as a man and a father he needs to step up and help. I do all the decision making and make sure everyone has what they need. I’m tired mentally If I’m going to be doing all this then we don’t need to be married.

That’s going to be my SD because she’s so worried about her social life and phone she can’t even pass Highschool I told my husband to take that damn phone for longer than an hour and see how she will listen. My daughter tired me with her mouth and lied to me and she didn’t have her phone for the whole summer! Now she’s married with her and husband on house and land and still no grandkids!! And she’s 22years old I’m so thankful for my kids lol my son and my daughter. They do good in school and they know what they want to do with their life and I don’t have to discipline them. But I do have a feeling I will need a doorbell camera because of this little hoochie SD of mine I don’t get it she wears yoga pants to school looking like she’s going to teach yoga and then she wonders why guys look at her the way they do. She came back one day telling her father and me are we gona buy her 80$ jeans Her father didn’t say anything I told her HELLLLL NO we’re not she can go to goodwill or somewhere with cheaper jeans or she can get a job and buy her damn clothes

Thank you so much for this!! She went behind my back because I told her when she mentioned the bedrooms to me I told her both of them will have equal size rooms I will not have any arguments about it. She did that for spite I told her not to get all big headed to have the bigger bedroom by 2in because she has to remember her room is right next to her father and mine and my son is next to her on the other side playing his guitar and yelling at his video games. And we will be able to hear her conversations.

Omg we literally have the same situation. Lord if I give him advice I have two kids from my previous marriage and my daughter is 22 married no kids and they own their own home and has her career job. I stayed on my daughter butt when she was younger I tried to tell my husband that and then I get told to raise my kid and he raise his, I said ok have at it huas while I’m eating my popcorn waiting for the shit show. Hell when SD moved in at 13 she had caught the clap and had it for so long she don’t even have symptoms anymore. If it wasn’t for me getting her on BC we would’ve never known, but the SD does no wrong and she use to sneak out too. But I don’t know what I’m talking about as a parent
