My Dad has married another women, whom i dont really care for sometimes. She treats her son with more respect and gives him the things he wants. I for one, dont get very much stuff anymore. And my step-mom spends my dad's money on things such as getting her hair done, and nails. She is sick all the time too, and doesnt work very much. She complains about how there isnt ever enough money for things, when she goes and colors her hair for $60. Should i say something?

Its always good to speak your mind however don't expect your dad to just drop her. He chose this woman for a reason. While you may see a lot of her faults he may not. I'm sure he loves you, just express to him that your are feeling neglected. Don't necessarily attack his new wife. You can get your point across without being mean. I know if my daughter came to me and told me she felt neglected I would stop my world to correct it.

Saying something isn't going to fix anything, it is just going to put tension in the house. I am sorry to say, but your dad didn't care how you felt when he married this person, so why would he care how you feel now? I would say if you have the option of going to live with your mom or your grandparents or something, then maybe you should consider it b/c I don't thin this is going to get better. Your dad married a nightmare of a person so its either be miserable and mentally abused by her or find yourself an environment where you can be happy and supported. I am sorry that adults are so selfish sometimes and I hope things get better for you.

I would tell your dad about it. This same thing happened to me about a month ago(execpt my step-dad is the one who was like your step-mom in your situation) i was always getting in trouble for what my step-brother did an he gave me NO respect and alot of other things, and my step-dad did nothing except say that i was being dramatic and he was just 8 and didn't know any better. so i finally started staying with my dad more and i told my mom about it and she and my step-dad worked it out and now my step-brother doesn't bother me as much and my step-dad handles things now.
So just tell your dad and if he doesn't do anything get our mom to take action.

I would. I would let her know that if she worked more and helped put money into the family instead of taking money out all the time, there would be more there.

Yes, definitely. sounds like my step mom, except she doesn't even let me see my dad. So, be thankful you at least have the option to talk to him about it, and take advantage. I mean, your his daughter, one of these days you're gonna have to take care of him, might as well get a head start.

Just be yourself I know that doesnt seem like great advice but if being yourself requires you to say something..go ahead. in my experience if you are going to say something ... make it ... something that isnt about blaming and stuff, just let them/whoever know how you feel..

well i mean, it would be nice if it could stop, but there is nothing that you can really do, this is the way that she is, and i doubt by saying anything, that she will change, people cant, or dont change that fast, if that is her personality, than that is her personality, you know?

No. It is none of your business. This is between your dad and whomever he decides to be with. If he wants to be treated like crap there is nothing you can do about it. Let him live his life and make is own mistakes.

No you shouldn't the money problem is no concern of yours it is between you dada and her; after all HE is the one that married her, not you.
