ok so i have this step dad who has a son who's my age (15). He walked in on my boyfriend and me making out in my room and he screamed at me and grounded me for a month. Then two weeks later he caught my step brother getting a blowjob from his girlfriend and my step dad just laughed and said, "boys will be boys" and walked away. Then my boyfriend gave me a hug after school and my step dad was picking me up and he yelled at me and grounded me for another month! I spotted my step bro kissing some girl i had never met and my step dad just gave him a high five! I tried talking to my mom, but she has been really sick lately and doesnt talk much. Is this fair??? what should i do???

AntF921 answered Saturday May 12 2007, 10:15 am: Ok, so I have almost been in your position myself. I have a stepfather who can be very unfair sometimes. I personally, would tell him to go screw himself. If your stepbrother is getting blowjobs and he gets praised for it, but you're only only making out and getting grounded, then he isn't being fair. But, I may be looking to far into this, because he may think that girls are more vulnerable than boys because he knows how boys think. But personally, I DO think he is being a jerk and just tell him to go shove it, and if he has a problem with that, remind him, he's NOT your father, he CANNOT tell you what to do.

peebles7 answered Sunday May 6 2007, 5:04 pm: that is absolutely ridiculous. for now i would say to be extra careful with your boyfriend when your dad is ANYWHERE nearby. sure, I agree with the other people that you should talk to your step dad, but in all honesty he seems like a pretty irrational guy, so that might not help. once you are able to talk to your mom, definitely do that.
he seems like a horrible man so i would just try as hard as you can to steer clear, like go to friends houses more often. confront in your friends and your boyfriend.
also, if you are on good terms with your step brother, mention it to him because he might be realizing what is going on, so next time your step dad supports his behavior he could be like, "hey dad, why don't you ground me if you always ground _____" i dunno, just an idea, until you can talk to your mom there isn't really anything you can do [ peebles7's advice column | Ask peebles7 A Question ]
rick505 answered Sunday May 6 2007, 3:45 pm: Welcome to the double standard. His son cannot come home pregnant you can. You need to sit down and have a talk with your stepdad. Explain that you can do pretty much anything you want with a boy during school hours so grounding you isn't going to change what you do with your boyfriend and you feel he should worry about his son getting his girlfriend pregnant more than you getting pregnant because you are much more careful than his son is.
Did you notice how many times I used the word pregnant. You should use it that many times with your stepdad. Tell him he would hate to see himself as a grandfather right now out of spite from you and stupidity from his son. [ rick505's advice column | Ask rick505 A Question ]
