What bad thing did you do today?

I'll go into another time. Right now is a good time. I just hope he makes better decisions. I have no control over anything here with the 4 step kids. Wife lets them rule the roost. I am just trying to salvage a marriage until they all graduate and finally move out. It is annoying as fvck feeding all their significant others.


Did any of you just help yourself to food at friends houses....like going through the cupboards when you were young? I think it is rude. Pay the bills asshats
I feel you on the no say over step kids, it’s frustrating to watch lack of discipline and just a ton of clutter and laziness be excused as” they are just kids”
 
I know a lot. 🫦

Ha! I had 6-7 kids at my house at 3AM cleaning out all the Bagel Bites and Lucky Charms,
Plus they were all so stoned we started keeping a kitchen drawer full of candy. Damn munchies.
You’ll live. If you don’t like it who pays the bills ??? - and did you not truly understand what you were taking on when you married someone with kids?

I completely understood. But I didn't buy on to feed the neighborhood. They are slobs, incabable of cleaning after themselves. In my book, if you are throwing stuff in the garbage that is overflowing, refuse to take out recycling, and refuse to do your laundry.....you are not good in my book. I'm willing to help out. I gave out money to all the kids and there significant others for X-Mas. Only 2 people that didn't thank me were the step sons.

Not the first time. So.....They aren't getting shit from me again. Cutting the cord soon so they can't play video games 24 / 7. Young males are messed up right now. I'll leave it at that.

I do get that but if they live under YOUR roof then you have every damn right to set rules and expectations. If Mom does think she has no right to be respected she’s mistaken.
She is teaching her male children to be disrespectful of women and she’s not doing them any favors.
Don’t let them divide and conquer.

My advice to you is to be a complete dick to them. If you do that they won’t want to hangout at your place anymore. We had the same issue with our oldest, so I started being a dick to our second oldest’s friends and they didn’t want to hangout at our place anymore. Problem solved.
Sure she lost a lot of friends and was ridiculed at school, but at least I was happy.

The boys are just like their biological father. Arrogant that abused them in different ways. But that is simply a crutch for them at this point. Neither one of them will have a successful marriage when they grow up. And when they come to me for free legal work......sheeya.

If I give you further advice I’d just be intruding, but all I would offer is that it needs to stop, and the abusive father excuse thingy needs to do the old screeching halt, and Mom and Jimmy Mac need to talk.

Jimmy- two thoughts

Sorry you’re in a situation where your voice isn’t being heard at home

Telling us ain’t gonna change shit. If you can’t communicate it at home and be heard- that’s a thing- but make sure you’re at least voicing it (no clue if you aren’t )

Some of this is normal. Having friends over that eat all the food. Making messes that you seemingly are incapable of noticing. My kids wouldn't do chores on their own but when told to do something they would do it without arguing. If they had straight up refused that would not have gone well. But we weren't hampered but having a parent that wouldn't back up the other in that regard. Which is your actual issue. Mom needs to be on board with holding them accountable and it doesn't sound like she is.

Don't get me wrong....I'm not a hard ass around here. I'm mostly a pacificist. But my wife likes to spoil them. The only time I've lost my shit (literally) recently was when one of the boys used up all the toilet paper and didn't replace it. That is DB kind of stuff

My wife gets so upset that our kids don’t voluntarily do chores. It’s like she doesn’t remember being a kid at all.

Using up a roll of toilet paper without replacing it is a big deal.🤨

Oh my husband would too. Well mostly that they didn't notice the grass had grown a quarter of an inch and race out to mow it. He didn't care nearly as much about what he considered to be my chores.
