The children are teenagers, 3 girls, 2 boys, I do not have any kids myself. The mother is in jail for drugs and other felonies. I love him alot but I have had enough of the disrespect, stealing my rings, pants, shirts, anything they never ask to borrow, they just take and I never get it back. He makes them say sorry and does nothing about the problem. some times he will give me money to replace my things, but not often.

I can understand someone standing up for there kids. But he is not helping them to become honest adults if he lets them get away with this kinda crap. Sounds to me like not only are they disrespectful to you but so is he. Im sure he feels guilty because there mom is in jail. But if something isnt done about the way his kids are acting they might end up there to. If there stealing from you and your husband isnt doing anything about it. Whats he gonna do when they steal from someone else? I think you need to sit him down and have a talk with him. -If it will help- You shouldnt be treated like this in your own home. Have you thought about leaving? They arent going to change unless he puts his foot down and makes them straighten up. Hope its not to late.

Time to have some serious talking to the husband and kids. Go to marriage counseling and family counseling. Soon the police will be knocking on the door to haul them off, if they steal from you, they steal from everywhere. Tell your husband to quit trying to be a friend and be a PARENT. Maybe take them to see their mother in prison and see if that's where they are wanting to move to, bc that is the next step.

Time to put your foot down...with your husband AND with the children. You are an adult in the household and you deserve more respect than you're getting. Start with your husband. He needs to show you respect and back you up on these issues, or the children will never listen to you. Be straight forward with him. Let him know that his way was not working, and now you're taking over. He needs to get on board.

He is the parent of these kids, and it is up to him to discipline them. He is obviously not doing a great job in that area, but there is not much you can do except talk to him in private and explain the severity of the situation and how you feel when they have no consequences for their actions. Ultimately, HE is the parent and responsible for the punishments. If you can't agree with him over it, maybe it is time to re-evaluate your relationship. Good Luck!

You CHOSE to marry this man. His kids are the way they are because their parents raised them that way...the man you CHOSE to marry is one of their parents. Don't expect things to change...unless YOU change them.
