Q: I know alot of kids don't like their step parents but my step dad takes it to another level.
My younger sister (15) and I (17/f) have never liked him and he doesn't like us either. My mom knows that we don't like him but she thinks that he trys his hardest with us.
Well, I know what you're thinking, give him a break and you'll see that he really is trying.
I don't think so.
Last night my mom and him threw a party and my sister and I had to be there. When everyone was leaving around 3am, my mom had gone outside to say bye to everyone while my step dad, sister, and I stayed inside.
My sister and I were talking to each other about these guys we had met that night (my mom's friend’s sons). He was listening to our conversation and said, out of no where, "I don't know what boys would be interested in you two." He always says this stuff so I just told him to shut up and mind is own conversations (I know, disrespectful but it's hard to respect him).
We got into a little argument and he then told us how immature, bratty, spoiled, we are and how we think we're princesses. Jokingly, my sister told him that we were princesses, in our dad's eyes anyways. I guess that got him mad because then he went off talking about my dad and how he's the problem because he gives us what we want. He then said that if we didn't believe everything he was saying about us that we should ask our mom and grandparents on what they think about us.
After all of that, he told us about all this stuff that my dad did while he was still married to my mom like how he once slept with a hooker and how he was always at work and never home. Alot of unnecessary things that we didn't need to know and probably shouldn't have known, specially my sister.
I knew that my parents had troubles and things like that, why else would they have gotten a divorce? But who is he to tell us exactly what happened and what my dad did. I mean does he seriously think that we would turn against our dad or end up hating him or something? Or is he just jealous of him?
Like I said, I know my dad did some things (now I know exactly what) but so did my mom. But we still love him and he's great to us and is a good parent too.
After he went to sleep I went into my sister's room to get something from her and she had cried herself to sleep. When I saw that, I went to talk to my mom about what had happened because I usually just blow it off. When I told her, she didn't believe me about the names he called us and how he told us that she and my grandparents thought the same! And all she did about the part about my dad was say, "Well, at least you know the truth about your father now." She just talked about how we never once tried to be nice to him and he was trying his best. She didn't even care about the stuff he said about us or my dad.
We were nice to him before when him and my mom first started dating but he was still mean to us back then so we started being mean back. he always used to talk about my dad too.
I don't know what to do because it seems like no matter what she's always on his side. Plus he has no right talking about my mom and dad's relationship.
