Some stepdads think they can control the lives of their stepchildren. They think they can take the place of a child's biological father.

There are ones who even go as far as bossing their stepchildren around, becoming too entitled. But these people need to understand that being a stepparent isn't about replacing anyone's role.

It's about positively complementing the existing dynamics. Stepdads need to respect the child's love for their father.

Today's story is about a man who has a strong sense of entitlement and thinks that just because he moved in with his girlfriend's family, he can make all the rules in that home. The Redditor who shared the story is a 29-year-old male homeowner who lives with his mom.

Because of the global issue, his mother decided to let her boyfriend, together with his kids, live with them. The man immediately tried to set all the rules, making everyone follow.

One day, the guy goes into an angry tirade about how the OP disrespected his rules. Then he tells the OP that he should follow the guy's rules since he's already his stepdad.

But the original poster (OP) was having none of that. The OP, also in anger, stood nose to nose with the guy, putting him in his place because he doesn't own the house.

The guy starts packing up with his kids and returns home. After what happened, the OP's mom reprimanded him, telling him he went too far.

The OP tells the community that he lives with his mom.

HIs mom has been dating a guy for half a year.

The OP agreed to let his mom's boyfriend move in with them because of the global issue.

It all began when the OP went out on a late-night run.

The guy suddenly became angry at him for disrespecting his rules.

He shouts at his children.

Then angrily confronts the OP about disrespecting his rules.

The OP stood up against the man who thinks he owns the place.

The OP's mom became upset over what he did.

Then she gave him the silent treatment.

People started asking for clarifications from the OP.

The mom's boyfriend knows that the house is owned by the OP.

The OP's family background.

Thank goodness his mom listened to him.

The boyfriend's family came to see them.

Finally, the guy acknowledges that it's over with the OP's mom.

A use mentions the perfect description for the mom's ex-boyfriend.

The guy needed to be kicked out.

The OP didn't embarrass the guy. The guy embarrassed himself.

The guy simply has no right to go off on the OP.

Why did his mom side with the boyfriend, anyway?

At least the OP made his mom realize that dating his guy was a mistake.

The guy's controlling behavior didn't work on the OP.

The mom is upset at the wrong person.

The guy's too entitled.

The mom really dodged a bullet on this one.

He's not just entitled, he's also delusional.

The OP's house, the OP's rules.

Maybe the kids can learn a lesson or two from this situation.

Exactly!

Why is this guy imposing a curfew on a grown man? A man who owns a house at that.

The rules doesn't apply to the OP.

The mom's ex also needs to apologize.

How this Redditor would've reacted

The nerve of this man!

The guy is an embarrassment to gen X's, according to this user.

This Redditor would've slapped the mom's ex.

This rude guy has no place in the OP's home.

Maybe the guy just couldn't believe that he's living in the OP's home.

The mom's ex never had rights over the OP. He's just the mom's boyfriend.

Other people would be raising hell if this happened to them.

The fake A-hole stepdad deserved what he got.

The guy should've been thankful toward the OP.

Reality slaps the mom's ex right in the face.

This guy's a complete joke.

It was never in the mom's ex's place to be this angry. First of all, he's not married to his girlfriend.

Secondly, he doesn't own the house. So it can't barge into the OP's home, saying everyone needs to follow his rules.

Fortunately, it ended in a breakup. The mom shouldn't be dating this kind of controlling man.
