SD is little Miss "take over" and "never does any wrong" while my kids get in trouble for NOTHING

I am new to this site, but I am so glad I found somewhere to VENT where someone might understand how I feel. My SD is 14 and just moved in with us. I didn't want her to from the beginning but we see how that went. I KNEW that it would end up being the way it has ended up being. She is a thief (stole money from my daughter and her own mother), liar (too much to list), manipulator, cunning backstabbing hefer brat that I cannot stand. And she gets in very minimal trouble. My son and daughter on the other hand....he is 15 she is 9 and they make straight A's and they honestly do not do bad things. (your typical 15 and 9 yr old issues) My son is constantly in trouble by the DH for leaving empty coke cans in his room, and my daughter is constantly in trouble because she whines a lot. Yea she whines...but that doesn't make me think she will end up with a baby at 15 which is where SD is headed. I am SO OVER this and have honestly considered divorce because of it. (That's not even the half of it either!)

If you set the rules and enforce them consistently then SD will be the one to rise to the top of the discipline list.

Your kids will learn and will avoid getting in trouble.

Time to jerk a knot in your DH's tail and let him know what the household rules are and what the consequence will be for the kids who do not comply including his golden spawn. Work on your 9yo on the whining. That would drive me insane as much as it does your DH but it is not an insurmountable issue if you put some focus on it with your DD.

Good luck.

Oh my Sd13 can do no wrong, too. Yeah right! I can't stand her. I'm so glad I'm leaving and I will never, ever have to see her or hear her voice or smell her stench ever ever again. One more week! Then pure heaven.

I can sympathize with this. I would say you talk with him, explain your expectations, and if he feels he can't meet them, and make things a little more balanced, you have no choice but to take off.

Each of you should deal with your own kids. You don't tell his what to do and he leaves yours alone. Deal with your kids issues though. I can sympathize though as I have a forgetting to bring the glass to the sink kid too. Yes, I do bristle about her being deemed as naughty as his drug taking lot.

All kids need discipline, but a not so bad kid shines a very bright light upon a truly bad kid, and their parent does not like that, so they seek to vilify the other kid.

Not mature, but often the way of things.
