I’m asking the people on this board that have blended families. Is it my responsibility to clean up after older teenagers? My wife crapped on me because she came home from doing a night shift and the kitchen was a mess. It was their chore but because she had energy when she got home and didn’t want to wake up to it, she ended up doing it.

We have an EXTREME blended family. 9 kids and 6 ex's. The 5 oldest kids are 12, 15,15,16,16. So messy, lazy teens something we deal with often(other 4 kids are 5,6,6 and 7 so whole other mess!). First are you sure you are in dog house and she just wasn't venting about kids? I know sometimes my SO thinks I am mad at HIM when I am just venting out loud about kids. That is assuming you mean you are in dog house with mom. If with kids, tough on them. They should have done their chores. Sounds like though that you and mom need have a talk about your levels of authority with the kids and your expectations of each other in regards to parenting your children. Did she expect YOU to make sure

>>Of course, the fact that she cleaned up them only reforces to them that they can get away with not doing their chores. <<
Hadn't thought of it from this angle, but you're spot on.
