STEPMOM BILL OF RIGHTS
Our marriage is our first priority, and we will address all issues together.
I will be a part of the decision making process in my marriage and family at all times.
People outside the immediate family, including ex-wives, in-laws, or adult children cannot make plans that affect my life without my consent.
I will not be responsible for the welfare of children for whom I can set no limits.
I must be consulted about which children will live with us, when they can visit, and how long they will stay.
I will not solely be responsible for housework – chores will be distributed fairly.
Others may not violate my private space at home, nor take or use my possessions without my permission.
I will never be treated as an “outsider” in my own home.
My husband and stepchildren must treat me with respect.
I will be consulted on all family financial matters.

I am for sure Danyelle! I am
I am for sure Danyelle! I am 26 yr old and dealing with A LOT! A mother of a 8B and 5G. Also a SS17 18 in a week and a grandmother at 26! I have dealt with attempting suicide and suicide threats from my SS. Disrespect on a daily basis, my 8S losing his bedroom and his grades slipping. My frustration with my husband and taking it out on him. Even though he usually back everything, I just feel like things will not be better until his lazy son ventures off and makes it on his own. HELP ME
I especially like the one
I especially like the one being treated like an outsider I know that I felt like that for such a long time and it frustrated me. until I starting making rules that pertained to everyone and told my dh how it was going to me. we are very happy now.
I am going to put this on my fridge
