Am I the only one out there that does not like their step-child? I have tried to be friends with him but to no avail. I've spent money I don't have on the little ungrateful brat. My hubby and I fight because of lies being told by my step-child and even when proved he lied, I am still in crap with hubby because I'm supposed to be the mature one. This happens with my bio child too.
We eat what the kid wants, go where the kid wants, watch TV programs that the kid wants and the kid "Is the best in the world" while my own child gets picked on, can't watch her own shows, spends majority of her time in her room (with me) mad about the step-kid, plus has no say in what we eat, etc.
My child has a bedtime, and goes when I say so. His kid stays up 1/2 the night, blatting from being overtired, and again he's the best and just a little kid (he is 9, not a baby).
I love my hubby. But this kid is making me regret marrying a second time. Anyone else disliking their step-child/ren

Few things to add here since it was brought to my attention that I should have elaborated a little more. First, yes I have talked to both hubby and child about the behavioural problem. Yes, I have talked to this kids bio mom (she agrees with hubby that the kid does NO wrong and that I'm the one with the problem). And yes, I threatened to leave and my response was "It's your loss" or "If that's what you want". It isn't. I just don't want to fight all the time with hubby due to his kid lying, bullying my kid, and I sure don't feel like watching SpongeBob all day cause that's what his kid wants to watch. I'm also sick and tired of being told what to cook by a 9 year old who will then refuse to eat it because that "isn't how mommy makes it". I'm seriously at my wits end with the child and with hubby, now with the ex who sees nothing wrong with her child telling me what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
