I am kind to them, buy them things, cook for them and am there for them if they need me. They tell me to shut up, that I am an idiot, stupid and roll their eyes at me when I talk. I think that my disciplining them for the way they treat me will only make things worse, my husband suffers from the guilt of divorce, even though the divorce wasn't his fault, and does nothing to correct them. I thought and hoped that their relationship with me would get better over time, it only seems to get worse and I don't know what to do. My daughter sees their behavior and I have to remind her that she shouldn't act this way also....she thankfully seems to get it. I have been thinking of taking hotel trips with my daughter on the weekends when my step children are here to avoid the stuff that they put me through when they are in our home. What is the answer to the resentment these children feel....?
