Hadn't logged in for a while, just saw your reply. Boy I hear you!!!!! My SD says she doesn't have to do chores at her Mom's, so it's been difficult. I've given her chores, but she either does them half-a**, doesn't do them at all or only does the ones she wants. I've given up on her room, she can leave it messy if she wants, I don't want to waste my energy anymore. I'm convinced StepMoms have the hardest most unappreciated jobs in the world. You 'just don't have time to undo everyone else's bad parenting'- You said it!!!!!!
