SS has to everything my daughter does

Ss and my daughter are in the same grade at school. They have some classes together. They do band together. They go to church together. My daughter wanted to do academic team so he wanted to do that also. So now they do academic team together. He follows her and her friends around the playground. She is to the point she wants her own space and hobbies. My daughter started making survivor bracelets to sell he wants in on that too. I told him no because he gets to do things that don't involve her following him around everywhere.

How do I get my ss to understand that he is not entitled to do everything my daughter does because he lives in our house and goes to the same school? My daughter needs space. She does nothing by herself. He always goes with her everywhere.

yss feels the need to do everything mss does. the kid has no 'original' interest in anything. i find it very odd. but it truly may be that he's just very insecure in himself. maybe this is your ss' problem?

You married a man with a kid who lives with you, him, and your child. You just never know how two kids or a number of kids are going to mesh. Instead of forbidding him to do what she's doing, why not try to cultivate some interests HE might have? Not letting him do the bracelets, although I understand where you're coming from, is kinda wicked-stepmomish. And if the living arrangement really stifled or made my own kid unhappy, I wouldn't be in it. Just my two cents.

He does it to pick on my child. He sits behind her in band and kicks her chair and says things to her. He goes to church and tells all her personal business. He picks on her on the playground takes things from her and picks on the friends. The only reason he is interested in the bracelets is because she's making money off of them. I don't think it would matter as much if he didn't use the activities as a means to annoy or pick on her. She doesn't want to dothe bracelets because hes mean to her.
