So, another week of being the odd guy out. I gave up and have let DH deal with his kids discipline. The only thing I have got by doing that is being left out of everything that is going on in the household. The only thing I have been doing is the cleaning and cooking. I am left out of everything else. I have questions.... Since I have disengaged, am I able to tell the kids to do any chores? How can I explain to my daughter that I haven't been telling his kids to do things and only her, she is 6? How can I get my husbands respect back? He totally doesn't get it.

all the shit hit the fan!!!!

First let me say I'm glad I found this web site. It gave me the power to tell my husband that he was taking over the discipline of his children. I wasn't going to be the bad gal anymore. DH didn't like that very much and we have to talk about it for awhile. I had to go get my friends kids home and while I was gone DH took my 14 year old ss in bedroom to talk. My ss has an anger problem and does talk well. He starts screaming to his brother, who is 11 to call BM. He does and she calls the cops. ( Crazy, right ) well they come and check on ss and everything is fine of course.

Hi everyone out there! I have been a stepmom for 3 yrs now. i have 3 SK ages 9, 11, 14. As most of you can realize I am very disrespected in my home, and tonight was bad. my husband has been saying from the start that since I am the one who is here during the day while he is working that I have to use discipline. I have a background in child care development and a 6 yr old child of my own. the 14 yr old has never liked me, and me having had a stepfather growing up have always tried to understand what he is going through. My husband grew up in the normal household with both parents.
