Taking care of kids and having a career at the same time is always hard. Jasmine was in a tough spot because she was a college teacher and the stepmother of two teenagers. The ex-wife of her husband asked Jasmine to teach their kids French after work, but she wouldn’t do it for free. When Jasmine’s husband got involved, things took an unexpected turn. The upset stepmom came to us for help.

This is the letter from Jasmine:

“I teach French at a college.” My stepchildren are 12 and 14 years old. Their mother wants me to teach them at home after work. I stated, “I’m not a free teacher; my work is tiring enough.” “What kind of stepmother are you?” she asked. My husband didn’t say anything.

When I got home the next day, I was shocked to find a note that said, “You’re not a free teacher, and this is not a free house.” When I told my husband about it, he told me that if I want to be paid to teach his kids, then I should pay rent to live with him.

I said no, “You own the house; we don’t rent it out.” He just laughed.

After a month, I found out that my husband had been using my savings to pay for private tutors for his kids without telling me. I told him about it, and he said, “If you won’t help them, someone else has to.” I left and stayed with a friend because I felt betrayed and manipulated.

I’m not sure if I made the right choice or if I overreacted and should have taught the kids from the start.

Thank you, Jasmine”
