No I didn’t, I dont know how to cook Pakistani food, but i cook like a lot other,

So what’s the harm in learing how to cook Pakistani food? Obviously your father finds it appealing to some degree. Besides…it might be a good way to bond with your step-mom…ask her to teach you.

and I clean but not like my step mom says, that i have to alone clean like whole house etc. And because im half Swedish so my moms culture all children does as much housework, not like one does all or girls does all, like my step mom assumes.

Are you saying that you can’t clean a whole house if you needed to? What’s the harm in doing it once in a while for your step-mom and father? Really is any parent asking too much if they ask a child to help? And is the exercise going to kill you?

And my point was that my step mom thinks that I shouldn’t go see friends or movies that I should be home after school. And I know It might be hard for her understand, but im from two culture family and we have our own habits in my family and how we have raised so she cant say thats wrong.

Didn’t you say that you live with your biological mom? So what does it matter if step-mommy thinks you should be home after school. She’s not getting to enforce the rule, is she? Her approach to child-rearing can be dealt with by having a simple talk with your father. A private one. I’m sure that he will understand the difference between the two cultures and he will explain this to his new wife.

If you are the eldest and this is the example that you are setting then the younger two have much more to worry about then how step-mom is going to behave with them…
