Am I Wrong??

This is my first time posting on here. Just really need some advice or someone to tell me if I am being the bad SM... 

I have two skids...a 15 year old boy and 10 year old girl. They are both really sweet children honestly. I try my best to see all the positive things about them. My SD is my biggest problem ever though. She absolutely drives me crazy. She is her daddy's little "princess." She does nothing wrong ever in his eyes. Since their dad and I have been together she has always been right in the middle. We never go on dates due to having her with us ALL the time (well every weekend). If by chance we do get to go on one, she will call and beg him to come and get her...and our plans are ruined. She will completely destroy our house and he will not make her clean one single bit of her own mess. I clean up after her more than I clean after all of us combined (if that makes any sense). I have kept her while he has worked more times than I can count and she is very disrespectful (that goes in many different directions). She got on the bus one morning with her hair in a tangled up mess simply because I told her to brush it. Her mom calls the next day angry because I let her get on the bus looking the way she did. I am the bad person obviously. It's getting worse and worse. I absolutely dread coming home and seeing her on Fridays and I hate that. I want to be able to enjoy the time that they are there.

DH is allowing this.  SD is more important then you.  He does not want to be alone with you   All he wants is a babysitter and sex person   Not a wife

Ask your SO if he would like the little princess to wind up with a man that treated her just as he demonstrates how a wife should be treated (sounds like you're more of a maid than a wife).

He is demonstrating that a father figure dotes out treats & husband doesn't. So when it's time for her to start dating, will she wind up in a healthy partnership or will she wind up with an old sugar daddy.

Ugh. I read these posts and I think I won the husband lottery, I swear.  Why do these men expect their wives to do all the parenting of THEIR children? (Or the larger question, why do the wives agree to it?)

OP, it's not your job to clean up after SD, to discipline her, or make her brush her hair. That's DH's job, and if he won't do it, then she needs to be with BM in the mornings before school so she can handle those tasks.

Keep reading on here, this stuff only gets worse as these Princesses get older.

Time to mark off EOWE as no Skid weekends.  Inform your DH that she will not be at the house on those weekends regardless of what the visitation schedule says.

BM needs to invest half of her weekends into  her spawn. And you and your DH need a break.
