My oldest stepchild is 16 almost 17 and yesterday he decided to not come back for his curfew and hang out with his friends instead well  my husband just says whatever.. (hubby & ex-wife are not on the same page at all she is fine with my hubby being run over) but our daughter together gets into trouble he takes action. And if I say anything about LV and how my husband needs to discipline me I know I have overstepped I am on egg shells here.. 7yrs and I finally put my foot down that he either treats the kids the same or we are done!
