I'm so lost! Please help me. My step daughter, 10 but special needs....delayed....is argumentative and disrespectful and my husband (her dad with full custody ) just takes it! It makes me so mad! I have my own two girls and they NEVER act like that and they live with us as well. Is it wrong for me to never want to be around my dh and step daughter ever? What do I do???

I love him, I just don't like watching my sd railroad him and he doesn't discipline her. When she is arguing, I mention to him " I thought there was a consequence for arguing?" And he says " you are right " then gives her the consequence. As you can see, that makes me the bad guy and hated. Shouldn't he be the one to discipline her? Is it wrong for me to just stand down and walk away?

Dont feel bad I have two step kids who do this all day to me. One is 9 who thinks she is 3 still poops on herself and is always on dadddddddyyyyyyyyy. Cries if i tell her to go to bed, and when i do she says she needs to talk to her dad, and when I say you spent all day with him. He screams at me and says his daughters can talk to him at anytime.

I feel ya. My biggest thing is that my dh says he wants to get her to stop arguing but never follows thru until I point it out. Then I am enemy #1. I recently told him that I will not be around them this summer when my girls are not there too because I can't stand to idly sit by and watch her disrespect him, fuss, pout and argue. The mom in me wants to put her in her place...but shouldn't her OWN parents play a role in raising her???
