Is this bad?

Question

Okay, now I only want people who either have this or had this problem. My dad and this lady had been dating since I was 6, [almost 5 years ago] and he married her in January of 2006. She was nice to me, until one day when I told my mom that she made me do all the house work. Of course, it got back to my dad, and he discussed it with her. I seriously think she hates me. She makes me do everything while she sits on the couch and eats potato chips. She hardly ever talks to me, and if I pull my shirt down even a little, she says, "Quit doing that or I will buy you a dress!" WHat should I do?Plus, my parents have been divorced since I was 6 months old, and this is all really hard on me. Help!

Answer 1

If the worst thing she makes you do is all the housework, then you're probably lucky. You could be quiet about it and just do the housework. Consider yourself lucky if she makes your dad happy (now he's bugging her about making you do the housework but before that, I'm guessing things were pretty good.)
Maybe she hardly ever talks to you because she doesn't really like kids that much and doesn't really know how to talk to them anyway.
You did say she WAS nice to you. If you tell your mom something negative about your stepmom, you can bet it will get to your dad at the speed of light so just be aware of that. It's much easier just to talk directly to your dad if something bugs you. And if it involves your stepmom, why wouldn't you be complaining to her first?
If you pull your shirt down and she offers to buy you a dress, take her up on it.
Laugh and say, 'Well, I could always use a new dress. Let's go shopping!'
Maybe it will turn out that what you both enjoy is shopping for clothes.

Answer 2

I think if I were in your position I would be unhappy too, I am so sorry. Is she really sitting on the sofa eating potato chips, does she really make you do all the work, or is it because you don't like to see your dad with someone else. These are questions you need to ask yourself. If this is really what's going on you need to sit down and discuss this with your dad. Or opt out and go live with your mom. Good luck.

Answer 3

divorce is allways hardest on the kids and usually the least thought about . as far as chores go sweetheart i am sorry but our girls do most of the cleaning around here! as my wife and i work alot we dont expect them to do our laundry but they do there fair share and no i dont pay them either. ive been thru 2 divorces with my father and yes the second wife was lazy and expected everything done for her and tried to be my mom .which didnt work but look at it this way you are what between 14 and 16 right you only have a short while longer to put up with it before you are out on your own. the only other option is your mother and if your father has custody then i guess living with your mom may be out alltogather. so hang in there kid, it will all be over soon! then you will get to do all of your own housework!

Answer 5

Refuse to do the house work tell her you're her stepdaughter not her maid and you respect her but you expect her to respect you in return and if she can't you will seek a resolution to the problem from outside of the home. There are many agency's you can contact.

Answer 6

do you live with your Mother or Father? Go and tell your Dad instead of your mom. If you tell him face to face and he sees you aren't lying about it, then he may stand up for you.
