[QUOTE="Prayfort23, post: 606765, member: 16401"] Maybe I'm not expressing myself correctly. I e never said to the kids "this is my house too" I'm just telling you guys that's how I feel. I've never tried to parent the kids. The extent of my telling them what to do is telling stepdaughter to take a shower every other day, and pick up her room. Both of which she does willingly. I've never said anything to stepson except for be quiet when I'm working. My frustration is their dad is lax, their mom is lax and in essence they feel they have no rules. Not as much the step daughter, but the step son. I feel kids need rules, when I tell their dad, he agrees and lays down the law. But then nothing happens. I feel as tho kids need structure, rules, consequences. That's what is frustrating to me, and I feel that I have no voice because I'm not their mom. I just feel like if we all got along a lot of things would change for the better. But ex won't hear of it. Yes we do need counseling. [/QUOTE]
