Im a step mum to a 15yr old, he lives full time with us, me & his father. I’ve been with his father for over 2yrs now, but we don’t see eye to eye on a few things.
I was bought up to ask if I wanted anything from the snack cupboard, I couldn’t just take what I wanted, when I wanted. We buy all sorts of goodies for each other making sure that we all have something each but if I don’t eat mine straight away they are always gone. I started to hide my things as I was fed up going to an empty cupboard when I fancied eating my things, that didn’t go down well. I was told by my partner to just tell my step son not to eat everything, that also didn’t go down well & I’m now told it’s life just put up with it as he has to put up with my elderly dog (eyes rolled).
So, am I being unreasonable & should I put up with it???
