Dating and Spoiled Children

but like they said- im 22, i dont think a 22 year old should be parenting a 16 yr old, or even a 12 yr old... or 8 yr old. im sure we would have to agree on house rules, and we both talked about that already. but i can not parent someone elses kids, especially with no experience.

Well we haven't come across any huge parenting issues but there have been discipline issues with both our kids. If he's outside with a couple of them and I'm inside with a couple of them both of our kids will listen to the other. If he doesn't like what one of my kids is doing he has full right to be the adult and command the situation and the reverse is true. It comes down to adults and children and age really plays no factor.

I have an old coworker that I'm friends (who has custody of his kids who are a good deal older than mine) with and I remember giving him parenting advice on how to deal with an adolecent girl; I was in my early 20s and he was knocking on 40. Sometimes its not about age or experience but more so about common sense.

I guess the point I was trying to make is you may not have or want so much of a say in life altering paretal choices but you absolutely do a have a right to parenting choices made in your home. If he wants to let his kids act like heathens (which I'm not saying he does) and run the house that's his choice but in your home you have a choice too.

WOW!
Glad I wasnt a bad girl when I was over! :lmao: Or maybe I should have been? I may have got the "whatever else"!

Good rules

Do you need a spanking young lady? :lmao:

girl at 16 yrs old spanking is not going to help and not an option

a "come to Jesus" talk would be more like it and then take things away!:lmao:

it was a joke, i can only be serious for so long :jameo:

First lesson: 16 year olds don't get spanked.
they get whipped? :whip:

I think 4D spanks her when she's bad and also when she's good.
you know it!!
:lmao:

I am in my thirties and still love being spanked.....:confused:

:spank:

thats where agreed upon "rules" are talked about beforehand, as far as "parenting" i know im "old" enough for it. i think it does have to do with experience and age, in some ways atleast. what if his kid was 17 and i was 19? do u think a 19 yr old stepmom should really be parenting a 17 yr old? helping enforce "rules" is one thing, making life decisions is another.

Just because someone is a parent doesn't mean they have parenting skills.

If the step parent is making more sense than the bio parent, yes. Case in point my above referenced example. I was in my early 20s and the girl in question was 12 or so. She was very much like the OP's boyfriends daughter. Dad was biatching about her but treating her the same for many of the same reasons. I think she'd wanted a cat or something and the deal was she was to take care of it which she wasn't at all. I told him to get rid of the damn cat if she didn't take her responsibility seriously. He didn't want to be the bad guy, blah blah blah. I told him he should be her parent and not her friend and sometimes being the parent meant making choices that the kids don't like. He wasn't teaching her anything good by letting her get away with not holding up her end of the deal. I don't know what he ever did but that was very sound parenting advice from someone too inexperienced to give it. It didn't affect my life so I really don't care if he took it or not or if that girl is now a heathen. BUT if I had a personal involvement and his choices affected my quality of life I'd certainly have cared.

Don't listen to Pixie - she thinks she rules the world. You are right and she is wrong.

The end.

Whether the step is making more sense than the bio is a matter of opinion. And when it's a matter of opinion, the bio parents win.

When and if it affects her life her opinion absolutely matters. I don't think that I rule the world, in fact quite the contrary. When and if it affects kvj's quality of life she has a say. What if one or all of the children want to live with kvj and 4D, both parents are ok with it and think that it is best for the kids; does kvj not have a say?

This has already been discussed. If it's something that affects KVJ and her home, she will be a part of the conversation and have her say. If it's something regarding the kid alone - the example was if he wants to get a tattoo - then it will be up to the parents and she will butt out.

Reading is FUNdamental. :love:
