If your husband worked nights, and you work full time, 40 years of age with his toddler,  you raise your own teenager by yourself,  would  you raisie his teenager when his mother is perfectly fine to raise him? I did this for 6 months, and it was too much on me bc he didn't do his school work, dad was never home... I didn't even get a thing for mothers day, so I told him. Im sorry you just expected me to take on this role without asking me, regardless if im your wife, im NOT his mother and yall dont respect my rules. Am I wrong?

I will never understand why so many men think it's their wife/girlfriend's job to parent their kids. It's so sexist and lazy, it would make the whole relationship a non-starter for me.

I help my husband with his 2 teens (one special needs) but it was never expected or demanded and I feel very appreciated, backed up and respected in my home. 

I think that is the difference. If your spouse isn't supporting you, if he isn't appreciative- why would you help? Being married doesn't make you replacement mom. If he isn't going to be around to deal with the behavior issues and you feel like they are more than you want to deal with then visitation needs to change so that SS is there when DH is. Plain and simple.

Sad

I feel like hubby's mom always sides with baby momma and causes drama when she is never around. Im tired of baby momma putting me down, so i send a snappy text to let me know if she has a problem with me, and she shows up at my house and puts her hands on me. im not sure if this is worth my heart feels broke and empty. I want to give up.

First off, you are not her babysitter so stop being there for her kid. Then tell your MIL to go kick rocks. This kid is not your responsibility secondly, call the cops on bm for assault . If you don't, she will forever walk all over you. Stand up yourself.
