writes:Why does my step mom hate me? She's been married to my dad for almost five years and they have been together since I was nine. Up until I was thirteen she seemed to be okay with me, but after that she began to get real horrid. Continuously now she will tell me to do something and if it's not done then and there it is not good enough and she does it herself and has a go at me, then involves my dad who gets stuck in the middle. She then says that my dad never sticks up for her. He does, infact moreso than he does me. Both she and my dad are having problems with their thyroids, and I've a lot of stress as I haven't seen my mom and family for a few months and I've had exams and ill family members causing me much worry. I'll admit I'm not very proactive and can be lazy, but I do a lit around the house. Just not enough it seems. Why is she so OCD? Why does my step mom hate me? How can I help? I've tried doing more, she doesn't show any such appreciation whatsoever amd she seems to havrle no respect in the manner she talks to me. I don't want to hate her, but she and my dad are making me want to die. I've had my own mountains to move. I can't go on like this. Reply to this Question

 Cinderella, Cinderella...you've got an evil stepmother.
She's probably not that bad, just trying to do her motherly duties in staying on your bum. It also sounds like she wears the pants in the marriage, if your father is letting her parent you more so than himself. If moving in with your mom isn't an option then it looks like you're going to have to help out more around the house just to keep your stepmother off your back.
It also couldn't hurt to have a father-daughter chat, not so much complaining about your stepmother but ask what are you doing wrong to make them be on your case at all times. Tell him you're doing your best but your under a lot of stress. She is your stepmother so you're going to have to mind her to a certain extent.
