When you don’t live with someone or someone and their family before marrying them, you may be in for a big surprise after you tie the knot and start sharing daily routines.

One woman is considering divorcing her husband after only a year because she can’t stand how her stepchildren behave.

She’s 28 and has two kids, a preteen daughter and a young son. One year ago, she married her 32-year-old husband, who has two kids of the same age.

She and her husband dated for a few years before getting married. However, because of their schedules and kids, they lived separately until they tied the knot.

While she and her husband’s kids met several times and their blended family had spent a few nights under the same roof before their marriage, it wasn’t until they officially moved in together that things went awry.

Her main issue is with her two stepchildren, who have been very difficult to live with.

“For the most part, it’s all perfect except when his kids are around,” she explained.

“They’re disrespectful and lack any manners. Hygiene is a big issue for both of them. They do not clean up after themselves; they expect everything to be handed to them, and quite frankly, they’re spoiled and lazy.”

While she feels bad for feeling such a distaste toward her stepchildren, their bad behavior is giving her anxiety, as her two kids behave quite differently, and she worries the bad behavior will rub off on them.

She raised her two children to have structure, as they have a solid routine and are responsible for completing specific daily chores. Her stepchildren, however, lack routine and refuse to do chores.

“[My kids] are often made to clean up behind my stepkids or deal with their bullying because they’re rude and think they’re above everyone else,” she said.

“I’ve tried to set boundaries with them when they’re here, but it’s just made them not want to come here, and that’s hurting their relationship with their father.”

While her husband tries to stand by her and discipline his kids, it’s hard for him, as he shares custody of them and doesn’t want to push them away.

She, however, is at her breaking point. She feels that her and her children’s quality of life is being affected, and it’s gotten to where she feels a divorce may be the only way to put an end to their suffering.

“I don’t want my husband to suffer with them not wanting to come here, but my children’s quality of life is suffering too,” she added.

What would you do if you were in her position?
