Do you like when they tell you what to do, when you are a older child and not living with them?

older is not always wiser, but they are still the parent, or step parent, consider if their advice is in your best intrest, and follow your own feelings, only you will know what is best for you.

If it's your step parent doing that you should be happy because it means they really care about you. I know it probably is very annoying, but you shouldn't want to have a fight with your step parent. Thinking that isn't very good, it's annoying, it may piss you off, but explain why you do what you did and if they tell you what to do you can do that and add a little of yourself into it. Telling you what to do is actually a good thing, because usually they would lead you to the right path and do what's best for you. Even if their your step parent them telling you what to do is basically treating you like their own child. You shouldn't be upset about it, you should actually be happy about it. I think they're just treating you like their own child and advising you what to do. It's better to trust them than try to oppose of it.

Even stepparents are just people and they will get under your skin at times. The thing is usually they are doing the best they can or trying to help in some way that may be foreign to you. You don't have to like it, or even do it, but so what? Let them have their say and it could even be possible that they have a point. Of course you don't have to tell them that. And they will give you maturity points for not flying off the handle or (Oh Lord) hitting them with shoes.

My step dad was a far better parent than my real dad, and my step mom tried to kill me when I was 7. Because I looked like my mom. Some step parents are a true blessing.

Yes, one of each. The stepmother had mental issues (bi-polar, short circuit, bzzzzt) and died a raving loonie, but the stepdad was, and is, fine. Both tried to be good step-parents, and neither tried to tell me what to do after I left the nest to be on my own. My stepdad is still like a father to me and does his best to give good advice & loving support.

I wont know if this the right answer for you but I got merried for second time I have a set of twins 16yrs of age anyways they get a long with their stephfather and their father, you know sometimes you got to think about he is the one that is raising you , acours you are not going to like him to tell you what to do, but dont never forget that he loves you very mych just like if he was your own father, But sometimes you got to think about how does your mom feel your hurting her feelings too, if you feel that he is not doing the right thing talk to him my daughters always do he is hard of them but all three of them get along and another thing the grils dont say the word stephfather they dont like it , they talk to there father alot and they both lovethem the same. But they know the diffrence.

a step-parent should not tell you what to do. a step-parent should only repeat the instructions given by the natural parent and then inform the natural parent if you do not obey. but, no, a step-parent is out of nounds if he or she invites themselves into your life. you have that option, not the step-parent.

I hated it when I was young but it was very much like how my own mother would speak to me and make me do chores, now that i'm not living with 'em she gives me suggestions just like my own mother does but i do make my own decisions with a little consideration of my step mom or mom.

no. i have a step dad and he acts like i am his real daughter. That he could just boss me around sometimes and make me do dishes and then he and his retarded son (stepbrother) go off and do something fun. But they ESPECIALLY dont have any rights over you when you are an adult so ignore them.

i'm a step momma, and there real momma has nothing to do with them, so sometimes a step parent is good, not always bad, we just try 2 help, and we love the step children, so we wouldn't say nothing to try to hurt you, ok, try to understand them..
