Oh wow, yeah that doesn't make any sense. It really is petty.

@babes101116, I just don't understand how you can be like that to your own child! Like how can you not do everything in your power to do what's best for them and help them succeed in everyway that you possibly can!

Got ya. My oldest stepdaughter is 8 and has a lot of problems with emotional issues and reading issues and her mom blows them off 😑 it's very frustrating

@babes101116, I don't have an issue disciplining her. I'm a nanny so I'm used to disciplining children that aren't biologically mine. It's the fact that I want to put her in certain therapies (she's autistic) and certain schools that would benefit her greatly and the mom won't do it. I also want to potty train her because she's 5! And the mom constantly bitches about her not being potty trained but, she's autistic she needs help she's not going to potty train herself! If you want her potty trained then freaking work with her! 😡

Hell no I put my foot down. If I live here, they're going to follow the same rules my kids follow. I'm not putting up with BS 😡

@michellevaldez4750, You are definitely lucky haha She is super petty and won't put our daughter in a school specificly designed for autism and would be AMAZING for her because I found the school and it's 23 mins away but, she doesn't freaking work so that shouldn't be an issue if it's something that could have amazing benifits for our daughter. But, my husband and I have no rights so it's her choice :(

I was always a little shy about making rules for my step daughter when she lived with us. partly I think because she was 14 before she came to live with us and I had never had to be responsible for a teen before that. It sucks that the mom isn't more mature in your case. I was lucky that way, her mom and I got along really well so it made things easier for sure!

@polancobaby, 😧

girl I get you. it worse when you spend so much money on them too and your say still doesn't matter..

@polancobaby, right! I still voice my opinion but, it's never used because the mom is childish. Even if it's actually something that will benefit our child :(

I feel you momma!! even though I still say what I have to say. but no one listens.
