Aarg! My skid has a new job at KFC which is THREE blocks away. Naturally she cannot walk there or back, so DH DRIVES here there plus my DH is always "getting her up" or waking her up and now that she is 18 I think she should get her own ass up or she will get fired and that is life. Welcome to the real world. And it drives me crazy that she has to be chauffered to her job. 8 weeks ago she stole our vehicle. And yet she gets catered around. So she phoned and he was at work. She asked me to pick her up because "her feet were killing her" so I said, "well ok but you have to make other arrangements next time" in calm and cool voice, no yelling at all (because I believe that she is incredibly LAZY and this kind of pampering is not cool at all). So she starts yelling at me for making that comment and I hang up. DH arrives home with the princess 5 minutes later. He does not get mad at SD for yelling at me but tells me he wishes I WOULD NOT FIGHT WITH HER.

WTF??? Any advice??? For both the spoiled princess or my DH?

De inimico non loquaris sed cogities.
And better get used to it. I went through this briefly with my own biodaughter. Dh and I put an alarm clock in her room to wake her butt up...she just slept through it..so we bought SEVERAL alarm clocks and put them all around her room, it was loud as hell when they went off every morning but we refused to let her remove even one of them until she went one week straight getting up on her own. This was the condition to each and every clock getting removed..one week for each clock..until she only had one agian, which finally did its job(btw, it took a month and half before she only had one alarm agian)As for taking her to work and picking her up, I personally would be accomodating in this area as much as I could without interfering in what I had to do, and researve the making her walk to and from work, for a punishment to other infractions(like stealing your vehicle)As for dh...I agree WTF??? My dh would not even stand for my biodaughter to yell at me(his stepdaughter)! That is not acceptable at all. No matter what you may or may not have done or said to warrent the yelling from sd, she should have been put in her place by her father. His not doing anything only promotes that kind of behavior in the future to him as well as you. If my daughter or son either one even thought about yelling at DH, I would demand( as my dh would) respect for my husband from them!!! I love my biochildren and ss very much, but my husband and I are the parents in THIS home, and regardless of their opinions, they will show us both respect.
