[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 338563, member: 1991"] MWM, as I read it, her husband is bio-dad to the 15 yo and 8 yo, and the two girls live with their bio-mother, who is NOT Ann. And what is happening, apart from all the unpleasantness to Ann's kids, is that when it's visitation, husband takes the 15 yo girl places and does things, but leaves his 8 yo with her stepmother to babysit, instead of spending time with her too. I agree - very unhealthy, not good for either of the girls. As for your kids, Ann - if your kids and his kids don't get on, these things happen. husband should NOT take it out on either you or your kids. Similarly, you shouldn't take it out on his kids. Each parent should deal FAIRLY with his/her own kids. And it sounds like he is not being fair, either to his kids, or to you. He needs to wise up or he'll lose his girls AND you. You are right - you are not a babysitter. If he can't spend the time with 8 yo, then he needs to arrange separate visitation so the girls take turns. It sounds to me like the 15 yo has problems which are not being dealt with by her dad. He needs to stand up to her and show some backbone, or she will continue to walk all over people all her life, and expect someone else to fight her battles for her and make excuses for her.
