My DH has been difficult to live with lately coming off anti depressants in the incorrect way and now trying to re introduce them. We had a big row tonight about lots of things but the thing he’s fixating on is that I dared to even utter a small amount of annoyance at my SD constantly using my phone charger and lying in our bed while her phone charges. She has her own room, and with the amount of them I’ve bought for her, surely must have her own phone charger, I don’t believe I’d be any less irritated if it was my own kids doing this. Does this really make me a terrible step parent? I wish I hadn’t bitten back now as we’ve got into all sorts of territory I wish we hadn’t, I really think he just doesn’t like me anymore.

Yes @Lollypop701 he’s a total Disney dad and it doesn’t matter who suffers as long as DSD gets to do what she likes when she’s at our house. I’ve learnt not to have anything to say or it just causes too much trouble. We’re all pretty harmonious most of the time, but it does bubble up from time to time like it has tonight.

I dont think being a step parent means you cant tell off your step children, ever?
Tell her get back to her own room. Your human and pissed off. She ll live.
Get Him told.
