x_steph_loves_u_x answered Sunday July 17 2005, 11:56 pm: well i can relate, my parents got divorced when i was in 4th grade and my dad was cheating on my neighbor, and now there married. she can get on my nerves too. i kno this might be hard, but your gunna have to let your feelings out to her, maybe not as harsh as you want to, but in nicer words and ask her what you'd like her to stop doing. try to be open to her and dont always think of the negative of her, try to remember the good things she does. <333 steph [ x_steph_loves_u_x's advice column | Ask x_steph_loves_u_x A Question ]
vickiooos answered Sunday July 17 2005, 11:24 pm: tell your dad that you respect the fact that he's moved on and found someone else but that she has to respect the fact that you still care for your mother and it's not polite to bad-mouth like that. hell if you're bold you can tell her that yourself. i suggest your dad be around though, just incase you need some back up or re-assurance [ vickiooos's advice column | Ask vickiooos A Question ]
xxblue0eyesxx answered Sunday July 17 2005, 10:26 pm: Youre right, that does blow. First off, im sorry this is going on, and I'll do my best to help. I can think of two options. Either be an angel, or a devil. If youre gonna do the sweet little angel act, then just be nice to her and talk about how sweet your mother is. Tell about how hard the divorce and remarriage has been, but that you like her and are glad shes part of the family. Or, if you want to basically try to drive her away from your dad and you, then you can still talk about how sweet your mother is, and how happy your parents were when they first married. Basically just talk about how amazing life was before she came along. Eventually, she'll get sick of all the talk about your dad and mom and will probably snap. Then, your dad will see what a bitch she is, and maybe take action himself. Im sorry if these things dont work. I suggest you start with the angel act and if it doesnt work then switch to being a devil. Another thing you could do is tell your dad how much you like her and arrange a girls day with just you and her. Since your dad wont be there, you can talk to her one on one and tell her about the effect shes having on you. Again, be nice at first but if she doesnt soften up then you have to stand up for yourself and just tell her off. If she grounds you, then oh well. But before you go back home, get your point across no matter how nasty you are. At least then youll get the point across that you dont like her and dont want her to take part in your family. Maybe then she'll stay away from you and things will get better for you. I hope this helps, let me know. Good luck!
IAmShammay answered Sunday July 17 2005, 7:51 pm: just get smart with her. be like "at least my mom hasher head out of her ass" just be really snippy and stuff. you could always record her saying crap and let ur dad hear it. maybe then he will understand.

salemwolf answered Sunday July 17 2005, 7:12 pm: heres a few things that might work.
1. leave a skate bord infront of the stairs(if you got stairs at your dads place)
2.if look in her room when shes gone out and find some emaracing stuff like sexy gross photos, sex toys, maybe find the granny pantys that she weres. and when you find that stuff. tie it to a rope/ strong sting and nail it to the out side of her window.
3.heres a good one if you have a fire pit or your just a fire bug. burn her personal stuff like old love letters or what ever you can think of.
4.call her names behind her back(like slut, vergin no more) make sure she hears it.
5.fine out the littlest things that'll bug her and do them all you can and act inectent. If she starts yelling at you for it then your dad will think she's insane.
Beccah answered Saturday July 16 2005, 7:14 pm: i would try and talk to your dad about it. and if he wont listen or anything, which happens a lot, talk to your mom about it or your step mom if nothing else works.. i know its hard but it should really pay off. good luck! :)
desertgirl26 answered Saturday July 16 2005, 11:20 am: ** Okay! I was going to tell you to tell your dad and have him talk to her about it, but that might upset him and her both. Maybe she doesn't realize it upsets you. Talk to her POLITELY about it. If she keeps doing it, just remind her. That's all that I can say. I wish you the BEST of luck. -Sahara ** [ desertgirl26's advice column | Ask desertgirl26 A Question ]
Real4Christ07 answered Saturday July 16 2005, 11:19 am: Hey I think you should just sit her down where it's just you and her and tell her how you feel. Just let her know that, that is your mother and it bugs you to hear her bad stuff about her. Just let her know how you feel. But don't be mean about it or cuss. Just be sincere. If she has a heart at all she'll respect that and won't say anything else.

karenR answered Saturday July 16 2005, 12:43 am: Tell your dad you really want to get along with the woman (and try to for his sake), but you really don't appreciate her talking bad about your mom. Tell the wicked step that you want to get along and at least be civil but that you do not want to hear her opinions or comments about your mom. Very politely and very much like a grown up. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Alpha345 answered Saturday July 16 2005, 12:21 am: It's not too long at all so don't worry about that. You need to talk to your dad bout this for sure. Get him to step in and put a stop to it. And the next time she starts talking crap about your mom just tell her to stop, and if you can have your dad back you up on it. That should stop here or atleast show her you don't want her to talk that kind of crap to your mom. I don't know why people act like that, especially if for no reason, but if they have something bad to say, just don't say it at all. Not only can it hurt the person the stuff is directed at, but also those around to hear it (you in your case). I really hope everything gets better for you and this stops.
jennlynn3127 answered Friday July 15 2005, 8:39 pm: try talking to your dad about your step mom, and tell him that it really bothers you that she talks bad about your mom. she shouldn't disrespect your mom like that and tell your dad that.

twistedsister17 answered Friday July 15 2005, 7:43 pm: Just stand up to her....the next time she does it....say firmly, "I love my mom. My mom is the best mom I could ever ask for and she is the sweetest person I know and I am her daughter and forever I will stay true to her!" That will stop her in her tracks! lol [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]
akissintheshapeofabullet answered Friday July 15 2005, 7:11 pm: try talking to your dad about it and telling him you want to tell your step mom how you feel. then go find your step mom and explain to her that you dont want to hear the bad things shes got to say about your mom, and as her to keep it to herself. be polite while doing this, and dont blow up in her face. if this doesnt work, i'd talk to your dad again and see if he can tell your step mom to stop.
