My kids do live here, but i usually get adored by the same things she does, loud music, slamming doors when we are almost asleepHave your kids stay with you for a couple weeks and give them a heads up on what drives your wife nuts. Tell them to get started on her and if she objects at all...bring out your inner papa bear.
She’s a smart woman, California 10, Iowa 17
She’s gorgeous, and before this last month, the kids stuff was only an occasional fight. The oldest is getting more wants, getting to that awkward are. Idk... basically with her kids i have zero say, so maybe i stop doing the taking them to school, etcWow. You think you out kicked your coverage. (Iowa 17)
She thinks she got a nanny.
I think she may be on to something. 😳

I lived through this but survived. Both girls in college no pics. Whenever my wife got pissed at them I had her back. Mom's right. Period.The ONE time I took one of the kids' side on something she was absolutely livid. Whenever I got pissed at one of them for something we had to have a federal investigation with lawyers and witnesses.Agreed, she doesn’t let me have any say on rules or discipline, etc. very momma bear
This would be a problem. Not being able to say anything. Wife is setting you up for failure with those kids. I would probably start a fight at some point when she wants you to do something for the kids. She's making you second class in your own home. The kids are learning this already. You need to have a talk. My wife can run things but there are times when enough is enough and I put my foot down.My wife won’t let me say anything to them anyway, not even, her finish your supper or no ice cream. That draws her mama bear out, which is another reason i didn’t say anything at the time i saw it happening
This isn't a minor issue, this is totally a nonissue. If bare feet on the wall trips you, she is not the problem.They don’t really get punished, no spankings etc. i didn’t say anything at the time because i didn’t want to nitpick. However, i completely redid the entire house two years ago, take pride in the work i put in, and again, it’s minor. The issue is the lying or not remembering
This is it. You do everything she tells you to as far as the kids go but have no say, again, in your own home...over children. You need to fix this now or you are going to have issues until the kids are gone. Kind of hard for the stepkids to love you if they don't respect you and that's what your wife is instilling in them.Wow. You think you out kicked your coverage. (Iowa 17)

I literally said that wasn’t the issueThis isn't a minor issue, this is totally a nonissue. If bare feet on the wall trips you, she is not the problem.
I could never imagine trying to raise a child in a house where they didn't feel comfortable. Walls are meant to be repainted.

You've mentioned it more than once, and the whole exchange is what has caused the issue. You seem to be looking for drama instead of enjoying the blessing you have been handed.I literally said that wasn’t the issue
Besides being an Iowa 17 and gorgeous, what do you love about her besides her looks?She’s gorgeous, and before this last month, the kids stuff was only an occasional fight.

Even you said she may have forgot. You need to learn to chill and enjoy your wife and daughters.The issue is lying

She just wants me to let her do any discipline, saying no, saying eat your supper first etc.start small asking her what she wants for ground rules on your discipline and interactions with the step daughters — sounds like you and the sweet puss haven’t had that basic conversation yet. You can then refer back to that conversation anytime a similar situation comes up.
Negative. Ask Jellyfish what looks like, or @millah_22 . I’m not upset shot the feet on the wall, or other physical things. I’m upset that it’s an obvious lie, and nothing gets saidI think you're lying.

It’s pretty obvious, i was giving the benefit. It’s happened several times.You said in your OP she might of forgot.
So apparently it's not so obvious.
I feel bad for your wife.

I think it’s part of it. She worries about it, about whatbher ex mother in law thinks, etc.You need to have a serious conversation with your wife about respect for you especially in front of her kids.
How big a role is her ex playing in this situation? I could see her not wanting the drama from the girls dad if they run and complain about you. Is that the problem?

This is wise. At least for the first few years. You need to earn their love and respect. Don't forget, their lives were upended and they had no say. Go easy on them, they didn't pick you, their mom did.She just wants me to let her do any discipline, saying no, saying eat your supper first etc.
Several, again this morningSeveral or Two like your OP says?
