This woman is married to a man who has a Daughter from another relationship.

Her Stepdaughter is a few years older than her two other children.

Since she isn’t her stepdaughter’s biological mother, she allows her stepdaughter’s mother and her husband to make the parenting decisions. In her view, she has taken the role of another parental figure that her stepdaughter can come to when she needs emotional support throughout the years. She felt it made sense for her stepdaughter’s parents to be the ones to make the rules for their daughter to follow.

Prior to her stepdaughter getting her driver’s license and a car, her husband and his ex established rules that she had to have a job, and she and her husband would pay the expenses on her vehicle, while his ex wouldn’t financially contribute.

Once her stepdaughter got her license, the plan was for her to pay $200 per month to go toward her car insurance.

In addition, she and her husband told her stepdaughter that if she got any grades that were lower than a C, they would take her car privileges away.

She and her husband had to take her stepdaughter’s car privileges away twice, but only for about three days or less each time because she was really responsible the vast majority of the time. Also, her stepdaughter had a 10 p.m. Curfew, and they allowed it to be a late curfew because they had built a foundation of trust with her, and she always did her best to follow the rules they set for her.

“Fast forward a few years, and my oldest daughter was old enough to get a permit in January. She had struggled greatly with mental health issues and was admitted three times to a facility. She has made leaps and bounds in therapy, and I am very proud of her overcoming so much,” she said.

Despite her daughter’s progress with her mental health, she had to take her sophomore year over again because she failed everything due to skipping classes (while lying about it to her) and not completing her homework.

Understandably, this was a tough and stressful time.

Not long ago, they moved to a new state, and her daughter’s new school has been a wonderful reset for her. The school district provides a lot of help and support in order for her to have more opportunities to succeed.

“I told her after the first quarter, if her grades are Cs and above, we will pay for driving classes. She is currently passing her classes and hasn’t skipped any classes. I’m so proud of her,” she explained.

However, a couple of nights ago, her daughter was angry because she wanted to take driving classes right away, and she also said that she wanted to have a 10 p.m. curfew like her stepsister does (her daughter’s current curfew is 9 p.m.).

In her daughter’s view, this was unfair because her stepsister was allowed to have a later curfew and learn to drive at a younger age than she currently is, adding that her stepsister was getting special treatment and was the favorite.

She has explained to her daughter that she has parenting experience with two teenagers who had different needs and problems they dealt with, so she and her husband, therefore, had to set separate rules and expect different responsibilities from each child according to their own circumstances.

“I told her when her responsibilities get better at home, which include waking herself up for school, maintaining a decent room (she struggled with a depression room in the past, if you know, you know), getting her laundry done, and taking care of her pet without being told, then we would talk to her about a later curfew,” she shared.

Since then, her daughter still hasn’t improved in following through with her at-home responsibilities on a regular basis.

However, she always praises her daughter when she does complete all the tasks that they expect of her. But her daughter still maintains that she should have the same curfew as her stepsister.

From her perspective, more privileges should only be given when her daughter has proven she can handle her current responsibilities. While she understands her daughter’s frustrations, her decision has not wavered.

She believes that she’s made the correct choice, but she acknowledges how difficult it can be when teenagers challenge their parents’ decisions.
