My Dad's girlfriend is really bossy. She has lived with us for 1 year now and she tells me and my brother to do housework while she does hardly anything. She works one day a week and thinks thats enough to make herself important in the house. What do I do?

Just deal with it. You are a child, and as the adult in the household, she has every right to make you do chores and follow the rules of her household.

Suggest a "chore chart". Put everyone in the house on the list with the chores that need done and while having dinner assign chores. Once the chore chart is done, it can be posted on the frig. Dad can have chores he is to do and you can "volonteer" the chores you want to do, add everyone else to the list as well. When done this way, everyone feels as though they have a say in what they want to do. If this idea goes well, the girlfreind will have her chores to do also and dad will get to see if she is holding up her end of the bargin. You have to make sure you hold up your end of the bargin and do the chores you volunteer to do. Otherwise, dad won't be able to back you. Good luck.

Talk to her about it then if she does not improve talk to your dad.
Remember that parents are not perfect and that they too will make mistakes so you need to approach the situation with respect and caution. Do not demand an immediate response without giving them adequate Chance to hear you out. Make sure that you have tried your best in speaking to them about this before you resort to what i am about to suggest that you do.
You need to call a family meeting and put your cases forward. They should be able to listen you then, other wise, go on a strike until they decide to be fair and at least hear you out- make it clear why you are striking though so that there is no misunderstanding.
All the best
PS_ please ignore the nasty comments that are being made about your step mom. it is not right to call people names and insinuate things about them just because she and you do not get along. You should respect her and the authority that she has over you as i am sure you would not like another to be disrespectful to your mom.

communicate on your dad approximately your opinion of her. be confident to be calm and funky approximately it; once you're mad and annoyed and initiate up yelling, your dad won't take you heavily. provide your dad examples of issues that she does that disappoint you. "She is only, like, truly recommend." does not artwork. "She does not %. up after herself, which leaves me to do the artwork." could be a extra useful argument. If he nevertheless does not hear on your area of the story, communicate over with somebody else - yet another discern, instructor or counselor (college nurses are large for that style of stuff) - and tell them. 9 situations out of 10, yet another grownup could have the skill to 'attain' your discern (bodily and mentally) and argue your area. this could be somewhat severe, yet whilst your concern escalated, that's recommended to contemplate putting in a hidden digicam someplace in the domicile the place she frequently is / the place she is likely to 'be bossy', as you place it. looking lower back over the tapes, you may understand which you had had a bad day and that she did something stupid and you have been the only that flipped out. in keeping with probability you will understand that she truly is recommend, yet then, you may wish evidence. despite happens with your concern, i'm hoping you should chat with your dad effectively. that's the main severe ingredient - preserving the bond between discern and baby. in the adventure that your dad tries to impose a diverse mom discern into your existence which you do in comparison to or consider, my only wish could be that he could see to grant on your desires over his very own.

Sorry, I know how this feels. I would start by talking to your dad about it, if he doesn't do anything about it I would confront your dad's girlfriend. But make sure if you do you do it in a "nice" way, you don't want to make matters worse.

Talk to your dad and then maybe he can talk to her. Granted kids should have chores, but if she is just making you guys her lil' slaves then by all means I would tell your father. Good luck.

I don't see why you have to give the shack up one ounce of respect although I wouldn't be rude either. Just take care of your stuff and pay her no mind.
Your dad is just using her as a bed warmer until she gets wise.

Tell her "you are NOT my mother, I do NOT have to do ANYTHING you say, you aren't even MARRIED to my dad, your just his shack up sex toy."
This will get her steamed and the poop will hit the fan when she tells your dad.
