Step kids disrespect me, and their mum defends them

Howdy all f Om Aus.



First post.


I'm pulling my hair out.


I love ,y partner, she has 4 girls - 11,9,5, and 3.

i adore them, and understand they're conflicted as their dad walked out to his (affair) girlfriend and they are questioning their loyalty.


There are many moments when they outright disrespect me; perfect example asking the 11 year old to move from (my) camp couch so I could move it back into the shade.

she wouldn't move, played the swap seat game etc etc until I threatened to sit on her. I did, she did the tears act and stormed off.


i said to my partner that she should have said something.

her reply? "I asked her to move. What more can I do?"

then she buried my things (in retaliation), lied about it. And then broke down in confession.


but no consequences about anything. Grata for later in life hey.


i could list a dozen instances where they walk (mainly the two older ones) over me and she says I'm getting worked up over trivial matters.


People say - stay out of it. But I look after them at times. I need a level of authority/respect. Eg. The eldest refusing to put her bike helmet on.


Im just getting sick of it.


help....!!
