Second time around thanks!?

You are right to feel the way you do.

You paid for the stuff you have, your kids have limits, why can't his.

I think he is trying to take advantage of your good nature and generosity. He might have seen things differently if he was the one shelling out the dough.

I do not negotiate with my kids. This is the way it is and this is the way it is to be from this point on.

Negotiation starts when signs of respect and responsibility is shown.

The kid was gonna get a rude awakening fast. Put some limits BEFORE things get to more important life threatening issues.

Hubby can deal with his kid anyway he choose fit. You are entitled to deal with any breach to your personal space and things in your own way.

SOMEBODY got to be the adult!!

You're on the right track and your husband is wrong on this one, pure and simple.

The kid definitely has or will have some behavioral problems if he is not taught to respect others property as well as to do what he is told.

Why your husband is allowing this behavior is a mystery, but it will only get worse, especially if the kid knows he doesn't have to listen to you.

It's time to put your foot down, period. Yes, he's gonna get pissed but, who cares? Sounds like he may need to grow up a bit, too.

Good luck.

There is nothing wrong with good manners and respecting other people's property. I think you husband has issues -- maybe guilt about his previous relationship with his kid's mom. Don't know. But you have every right to set your boundaries and expect them to be respected. It is good to role model this for your children. Sounds like a storm is brewing. So sorry.

I understand your frustration as isn't right. Stand up for yourself and whatever rules you have for your kids she go on her too. Is your home don't let anyone walk all over you. BTW why you guys have separate beds??

Well if you have separate beds he probably wants yours broke so you will get into his . The problem is the kids are spoiled little brats . My kids do things to but i only have to tell them once to stop and that's it . hate to see them when they grow up

hubby is going to have a real problem with his child and you have a real problem with hubby, if it is your stuff you should have a say in what happens to it, he can get mad and glad in the same pants stand your ground

if your husband doesn't let his kid touch his stuff,heshouldn'tlet the kid touch your stuff either..... and of course your kidshouldn't touch his stuff too..... that should be an agreement between u guys...

This is "MINE" that is "YOURS", we are separate, we are not going to last, we are going to end in a divorce because WE have SEPARATE belongings and don't touch MINE and I won't touch YOURS. Keep YOUR little monster away from MY belongings, because WE are NOT a WE, WE are two SEPARATE people, stuck in a marriage of dreams, DREAMS that I had and were MINE and not SHARED with YOU because YOU had DREAMS of this marriage that YOU did not SHARE with me. Thank the lord, my marriage is an "US" and "WE" marriage. We love each other and respect each other.

Open season . . . . . have at it!

Our boys aren't allowed in our bedroom without permission and no one is allowed to use MY bathroom.

You are married to a child no other explanation needed.
