It is a little hard to set rules and have them followed in our home since there is only a 5 yer difference between my step children and I. They have stolen, cussed, complained about my faith(including the pictures on the wall of Christ), broken glass figurines that were passed down, taken adult content materials, used drugs, mishandled our 18 month old, had their mother complain about how I parent our daughter, etc. I realize, they are teens and I am the evil step mother but I do so much for them. I am the one to buy the presents for any occation (hubby doesn't know how to handle money), make home made cook meals, remind my husband of things that are going on in their lives and remind him that they need to get calls from him. I am beside myself. I am so discouraged. I just want to be their friend and be their soft place to fall since neither parent is that for them.
