I HATE that her and I don’t see eye to eye. I love her a lot but now, more than ever with her becoming a teenager, we can’t agree on ANYTHING! I feel like all we ever do is bicker.

Her mom is still very present in her life and is also VERY wealthy. Like REALLY REALLY wealthy. My step daughter spends most of her day ordering new expensive things on amazon with her mother’s card.

My husband and I, on the other hand, live paycheck to paycheck and are very picky about how we spend what little money we have.

My stepdaughter often seems annoyed when we won’t buy her big extravagant things. And this is where her and I are not seeing eye to eye. She is become VERY spoiled and entitled. She talks back to me, makes fun of me, and never listens to me. Just the other night I had to teach her how to wash the dishes by hand which was SO infuriating. She had obviously never done dishes before and we fought the whole time!! I was being so nice trying to help but she was throwing a fit. I legit had to step out of the house for air because I couldn’t stand her constantly arguing with everyone I say.

Ugh can anyone relate? This is so hard! Being a step parent I walk on egg shells 24/7 trying to make sure I “parent” but don’t step over some line that I have no idea where it is at

Last year when she asked for a brand new bike (her bike was only one year old at the time and in mint condition because she had only rode it twice) I told her no. We bickered about it and I finally ended the conversation with “I need you to be more grateful for the things you already have”. Well that was crossing the line 😑 I got scolded by her mom

I can’t believe I am going to say this because I feel like the worst parent ever.. but I am starting to become relieved when it’s time for her to go back to her moms. I don’t want to feel this way 😭
