Hubby w/4 kids from marriage #1 & no green card until I married him. Me--12 yrs younger, no kids, nvr married. They/him were from impoverished country. I agreed to sponsor kids to live w/us in USA. 3 yrs of paperwork, attorneys & mtgs. w/INS finally got apvd. Kids arrived in the USA on 05/06. Ages 14, 18, 21 are male & a 10 yr old girl. Due to language barrier, we decided 2 yrs ago that he would handle discipline/behavioral issues. For yrs he 'd bragged, “American kids are disrespectful of adults, spoiled & lazy. My kids are nice & well-behaved.” He said tell him ASAP of any/all problems w/kids & he’d “handle it immediately”. Well these kids are mannerless, manipulative, interrupt CONSTANTLY, question everything I say, give me silent trtmt. over having to do homework, talk over me in French, expect to be waited on by me--Just a FEW examples. If I tell my hus. he says, "You are lying!" or "I can't do anything about it." He refuses counseling & I have no $$ to leave. Suggestions Please?
