Im currently deployed in afghanistan right now and still even being away from the skids and their mother i still get the short end of the stick when it comes to MY daughter...my husband has his kids every other weekend and one day during the week...since it is now summer vacation, and im gone he has blamed me for not seeing them everyday during the summer. it is a job i chose to get his ass out of debt. i made sure he was working during the summer so HE can pay HIS childsuppot. and bc we have a daughter together, i pay for her daycare so he can work.

so im dealing with a husband who feels he doesnt need to discipline, teach or mentor his two kids 13/6 about what it means to respect, appreciate things, what its like to earn something...he feels they are kids and they dont have to learn that way. i find it troubling. in fact he told me that I, the wife, the step-mother, have to earn their respect rather than them having to actually listen when i tell them to do something or anything for that matter. or if they say no, its ok because the excuse is they are kids.
