So difficult!

My DH just told me that everyone in the house is unhappy. He implied it is my fault.

I know it is not easy having a new person in your house, especially one that asks you to put things away and put your used dishes in the dishwasher (they are teenagers). I thought I was being a good example. I thought that I should not insult them and not ask them as if they are incapable. They used to have a Nanny who picked up everythng after them, but that was her job.

Should I wait up?

My DH found some items in my 14 y/o SD's room that are very damaging. She was out with friends and he called her home. She swore they were not her's and that she was just going to throw them out. He told her to stay in...

She promptly called her BM and told her the situation and how no one believed her etc. My DH told her to stay in, but after the call she went out.

Feeling resentful

I was married 6 months ago. I moved into my dh house with 3 skids. I thought that was the best thing to do as not to uproot them from school and their friends since during the divorcing years thay were shuffled around enough. They are teenagers and live with us full time and their mother rarely takes them and if she does, it is one at a time. I never had children, but adore my 4 neices aged 8 to 22 so I thought this would be easy and fun like with them.
