My husband has 2 kids from his 1st marriage,I have 1,& we have 1 together.He sets rules for all of the kids, but only follows through w/ mine.I want all the kids treated equally!His kids are only w/ us 3-4 days a week, but they're about to come live w/ us full time.My husband travels a lot & I'm concerned what will happen when he's gone.All of the kids have chores, even my 4yr old.But his 13 & 10yr old are never made to do theirs.He tells them to clean their room, bring out their laundry, etc but then never checks to see that it's done....it's not!Same w/ homework & even showering.Part of me says it's not my place to follow through w/ his rules w/ his kids, but the mother in me doesn't want to ignore it & have them grow up thinking laziness & dirtiness is OK. They think b/c at their mothers house they can stay out w/ friends until 9pm on a school night & have no chores that it should be the same at our house. My husband doesn't see the problem & blames it all on teenage stuff HELP ME
