You are not my childrens mother!

So SD comes in the door from work (her dad picked her up) and she immediately tells my daughter...you need to go to bed.
Excuse me?!
When the hell did you become her mother?! I don't freakin' think so!!
She has been doing this A LOT lately! No matter what I say to her...she just thinks she is free to tell her younger siblings how they need to behave, and what they need to be doing.
It is seriously pissing me off

She is 18. I have just told her to stop telling them what to do. she is struggling with being an adult and still being so immature herself. funny thing is....she doesn't like it when i tell her what to do...lol

OMG...same thing with SD7 and SS4...he still speaks with a bit of a lisp and it's hard to understand him at times, so SD7 takes it on herself to 'interpret' his sometimes babbling...she won't even let him finish a sentence before she sush's him and starts her version of what he is trying to say...she is VERY MUCH his 'mommy' and tells him what to do, when and how to do it, etc...drives me NUCKING FUTS!! But DH and MIL think it is so cute and sweet...GAG :sick: I correct her and tell her to give him a chance and let him speak for himself, and believe it or not I understand what he is trying to say 99.9% of the time...I also tell her she is not SS4's boss, she needs to worry about herself and let daddy and I worry about SS4 (I tell all of the kids that, BS included)...DH says, "She's just being a 'woman', telling everyone what to do and how to do it'...whatever! It aint as cute as you think it is, DH!!

My BD9 does this to both SS and BD8. She thinks because she is the oldest she gets to tell them what to do. It drives me NUTS. I don't think it is really a "step" issue as much as it is a older(est) sibling issue. They like to play mommy and see if their sibs will actually listen to them. What REALLY bugs me, is when she tells ME what to do (as if I don't take care of business or something). Like this morning, I had JUST told the kids that we would feed the iguana (SS's animal) after they finished breakfast and got their backpacks together. No sooner than BD9 put her breakfast dishes in the dishwasher she is telling me "SS needs to feed his iguana". Ummm, yeah, I know. She does it ALLLL of the time, and I am about to smack it right out of her!! Little sh!t.

Try it when SS8 does it to BS9. Then SS11 steps in as well. I finally got to speak to DH about it and that he needs to stop it. Now. He agreed and now as soon as they start in it's "I am the parent so stop!" it will take a bit of time but they'll get it. SS8 is the little tattler. SS11 is just plain bossy. Hate both types of personalities. I know it's just so they can feel some sort of control but they have GOT to find another way.
