Ghetto step mom

melissa325i's picture

Six months ago, SD 20, called me "ghetto" in front of her father. He made her leave our house but 30 minutes later she returns saying that "it's her house, too." Arguments ensue and I let her know that she is no longer a child and if she continues to name call, etc that she will lose the protection of "just a kid." Sd 20, receives no consequence for this episode beyond a " you shouldn't speak to SM like that" lecture. I can't forget or forgive this incident. At first, I was angry with SD 20, but now.. it's DH. He allowed all this to happen, without consequence.

Big blow up with my husband tonight

Started when he told SD that she could have a sleepover without consulting me.
Then he said " I talked about it with her (SD) and we agreed that she would be quiet and responsible for clean up. "
That's when I lost my filter.
Have I lost my mind?
Aren't these decisions made by adults after a reasonable discussion.
My husband actually said to me that our marriage was in jeopardy if I didn't change my attitude toward his snowflake.
That I needed to "try"

*uck Vacation

Husband suggested that we take 17 y/o step daughter on vacation this summer. (We have tried this vacation thing in the past) Last summer, we took SD and her best friend to Kiiawah SC. It was terrible for me. In fact, I offered to leave after 24 hours because I felt that my presence was unneeded, unwanted. SD isn't overt in her bad behavior so husband won't discipline her.
I can't/won't do this again. I love my husband but I guess I love myself more?!?
Anyone else refuse to do the "family" vacation thing with skids?
