[QUOTE="DDD, post: 112264, member: 35"] I've been a stepmom for over thirty years and it is still a challenge when it comes to a manipulative easy child. Although I never in a million years thought it would ever come down to it...my husband who is a very laid back unobtrusive guy, had to figure out which "side" he was on. It is difficult to be a step. You are not alone in that arena. It is truly imperative that you and husband agree on basic rules. He MUST accept that you and he are a team and have to have a team plan. No guilt from the past is allowed to kick in on the basic plan. You may have to keep it very basic and very simple. No violence will be tolerated. Specific rules will be agreed upon before the change takes place. I don't envy you..have I said that already? lol Your husband has to understand that the TWO of you are a team. Teams have a plan. Teams work together even when it is difficult. Don't trust things to "work out" on there own. They won't. I am sending cyber hugs and support your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
