You haven't even heard half of what my STBX is like. I was blissfully ignorant for years about her "extra curricular activites", but I did watch her try to raise her daughter for the 7 years we were together. I became "the wicked step-father" because I tried to give discipline to her life. If, for example, she did something serious enough to get grounded, her mother would say "I'm not ruining MY weekend just because SHE was bad". excuse me, isn't that what it means to be a PARENT? That sometimes, your lives get changed in order to teach your kids what's right and what's wrong, or am I the nutcase here? Remember, my stepdaughter is now 15, will be 16 in a week. According to my son, this summer her boyfriend stayed over for 3 nights. (Not only that, but there's also my wife's 19 yr old boyfriend in the house. Now, if THAT'S not asking for trouble, I don't know what is). There are many other things as well.
