Yes, omg I love it. That sounds truely horrible and a childish I know but I can't help it. For so long my DH was strict strict strict with my kids and rules and consequences, but his kids?? Oh they fart glitter and shit rainbows. Nope I had enough. I had to start calling him out on it infront of the kids and people.
Why is dPPP ok but BS14 got every thing taken away when he lied about something?
Oh BS9 gets sent to his room for the entire day and all the things taken out for yelling at your precious baby but Redface Magee can almost break his face and he gets coddled?
Then, my oldest 17yrs had enough and when DH tried to take his phone away because he told his daughter to get the hell off of him he told DH no.
"She can keep punching me in the balls and that's just fine but I can't tell her to stop?"
DH had no answer, it was a source of many fights.

You know it's bad when skids from DH and BM1 have to intervene to tell DH that SD from BM2 is an awful terrible child. THAT was my "ahhhh" moment when my older skids told DH that SD from BM2 treats me like garbage because she doesn't show her true self to him but she shows her true self around older skids.

YUP! It feels good to be validated! We steps can usually see our skids for what they are long before the parents can. We don't have the parental blinders on. It's always nice when a parent sees what we have seen all along, and realize we're not crazy after all.
