ok so my sd lives half an hour away from us ive been married to my husband for 10 years that is about 3/4 of my sd's lifetime my relationship with my husbands ex has never been a good one I cam along a year after they divorced but she has always told people I was the reason they split so im thinking maybe she has lied and told my sd that as well, now that sd is a teenager things have gotten really tough her mom has never disciplined her and my husbands discipline is weak he jokes around with her instead of really telling her anything she has no respect for him and she thinks im so strict but im really not I make my kids do chores in the summer but since she doesn't live with us I don't giver her chores but I do ask that she clean up after herself. my husband has no trouble dispininlg my kids bc they live with us but he is terrified to tell her anything so my kids get to clean up after he huge messes or I do when I get home from working full time im very aggravated I know if my husband would put his foot down my relationship with my sd would flourish but I feel like im drowning right now and im worried that my kids will resent me as well everyone is tense when she is here
