Your husband is right, it is your home too. While you may not have much to stand on with a lot of things, and absolutely no rights outside the home, you do have the right to regulate bathroom access. I love that your stepson is exploring religion, even if it is on the toilet. Hilarious! Your husband is right, it is your home too.

It's your house, you're one of the parents in it, you have every right to set rules and expect them to be followed. A stepmom should never feel she has to give up all control in her own home. That's the one place where she [b]should[/b] feel she has some control. Lord knows as stepmoms that's something we have so little of! Well, The Husband was right!

My oldest (7) has a tendency to wait until we are out in public, declare a desperate need to go to the bathroom, and then stay in there for half an hour. So, yeah. That's me. You know,the mom sitting staring at her watch and trying to calm my 5 year old who is just SO ready to go while sitting outside the Dairy Queen bathroom for way too long and smiling quite fakely at all the patrons who have come, and gone, while I've been sitting in that booth in the back. Yep, that's me. Well, at least he does this at home.

Come to find out he was severly dislexic and only felt comfortable reading where he couldn't be seen. But, he had his own room and we only had one bath! I feel that Tall One's pain!

Again, you are such a great story teller. I think it's great that the young one is expressing his own interests and beliefs, but yeah...he might want to pick a less communal area. And I am so happy that you posted a link to your house rules (which I had never read)...it's inspired my next post. That’s priceless. Again, you are such a great story teller.

I have the young one here, or more of the youngest, always in the bathroom, only he is brushing his teeth for the 15th time since getting up a half hour ago. Oldest here (12) is the book worm. He carries books home from the school library, he carries base library books to school. He is taking over two bookshelves of books, my old teen books he has taken over, but thankfully, he hides in his room to do all of his reading. Interesting.
