Why do I treat my BD when SD is near

Why can't I control my anger!!
This weekend SD13 was gone! for the 1st time in MONTHS. I was relaxed, calm and felt at ease. I did not really argue with ne one the whole weekend. Sunday night SD gets home and I can feel myself tense up and get ready to defend myself almost - and nothing has even happened?? I feel myself change almost. My BD11 said one little thing; maybe a bit out of tone (not really though) and I snapped for no reason. I did catch myself - asked myself why in the world I did that and then apologized to her......but why??
My mother says it is because I watch SD get away with murder from Daddy and it pisses me off.......but I am just hurting my daughter!

I don't have kids but I do
I don't have kids but I do have a hard time dealing with how my fiancee disciplines his daughter(7) when she is disrespectful. I have felt the same way in the past...like I had to defend myself to not be disrespected by a child. I have talked to my finacee about how we are parents...we must show her how to treat people or she won't learn....especially if she takes lessons from her mom. I try to make light of it but still throw out my ideas for discipline and teaching her lessons. I'm sure it is much more difficult with pre-teens/teens. Just know you deserve to be respected and feel safe and comfortable in your home...if you don't you may need to have a sit down with your husband and all of the kids.
