unbiased opinion

outsider's picture

I need an opinion. I am the stepmom of 2 girls that visit every other weekend. They are 12 and 14. We gave them the option to modify visits. We would pick them up one day a week and visit with them. This way they can spend their weekends with friends, babysitting, or whatever teenagers do in a nuclear family. When they visit us, they sit in front of the TV and do nothing else. They leave early on Sunday because they want to go home.

frustrated stepmom

I have 2 teenage sds and both look and act as their mother does. I always think it would be much easier if they were like their father, that i adore. They are manipulative, compulsive liars, disrespectful to not only me, but their father (like their mother). I feel guilty, but I wish they would discontinue their every other weekend visit with their father. It gets very frustrating for me because I am finished raising my children and don't want to go back to the nagging mother phase.
