To tell H his kids need to start doing things around the house

[MoveOnMolly]

Two step children both aged just over 10.

Nothing to do with my relationship with the kids, I think they are great little people and we get on really well.

My only gripe (and it isn't their fault) is that they aren't made to do ANYTHING in the house. Nothing at all. Their bedroom is constantly a tip but, their clothes are left in a pile on the bathroom floor, they've never washed a dish or taken their cups out of their room etc...

AIBU to say to H we need to start giving them a few chores (not even chores just basic things) like, no screen time until beds are made in the morning, clothes are taken back into their room after a bath, room tidied etc...

Whenever I've mentioned it before he seems in agreement but then never actually enforces it. I end up tidying it all up because I can't stand it after a while. One of the kids actually said 'ugh FINALLY' the last time I tidied their room?!

They are here half the week so it's not like it's EOW.

*tip not tip but!

You need to enforce it, if your DH won't.

That's really disgusting.
Lazy shites.
They see you as an indentured servant.

You have a DH problem though, as well as a bone idle kids problem.

YANBU

I would have gone mad at the “ugh finally” comment, as would my DP if his son said similar to me.

The kids aren’t the problem, it’s your DH. Make him clean up after them if he won’t make them.
