Anyone else have issues with discipline/chores with step-children? I'm trying to establish routines/chores with my step daughter (will be 10 in May) here at our house, but I feel like I'm hitting my head into a wall. 😳
Hubby's housework
What kinda housework or chores does your hubby do?
So off subject. I'm a step mom to 4 step daughters n yesterday my mother in law gave me permission to put my 15 year old step daughter on birth control. What do u mothers recommend?

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

Been induced since 7. Got an epidural an hour ago. I feel pretty good. My dad, sister, and fiance are here. Waiting for MIL to come after work. Talked to my mom and step dad on video chat. My step baby and his mother will be up after I have the baby and will take a family photo. Excuse the messy hair, i slept with it wet. I'm hungry and tired and bored. I'm excited for my LO.
Worst household chore
Cleaning the body oven by far !!!
I feel where you coming from girl, sometimes you just have to take that extra mile, no more step mommy, you are mommy. Somethings Ive done was take their toys to shelters so they can understand what happens when you dont appreciate things, they go to someone who does. After a dozen or so toys they learned not to keep them on the floor, if they only clean for when they want their friends come over, I wouldnt allow that, bring past situations so they can get a clear understanding on why they cant come over.. Reassure her that her father has your back, and what you will go regardless of him being there or not. I would tell him not to allow his daughter to think your say so doesnt matter. If you say no he cant say yes. This is where the I dont have to listen to you comes into play if it happens enough..
