How did I become the bad guy in this?


Ok gonna try to make it short cause I like to ramble. Here's the cliffs notes. Me [35M] wife [35F] stepdaughter [14F] (been dad to her since she was 3) and Lil dude [9M].So stepdaughter has a guy friend at the house and in the 5 min worth of conversation I was on the fringe of he dropped pretty much every racial slur I've ever heard. So not wanting to cause a giant yelling match I bite my tongue.....maybe the wrong decision in hindsight. After he leaves I inform stepdaughter and wife he's no longer allowed at the house cause I do not tolerate that and don't want it around Lil dude cause it's unacceptable.Well apparently I'm a huge asshole and all sorts of other things cause I didn't explain that was a rule or give a warning. I understand people come from all kinds of different homes and that might be perfectly acceptable in his house. But by 15 I'm not going to buy that excuse. I bet hes never starting talking to a teacher after class in that manner. And if you're so openly displaying you're derogatory view of certain ethnic groups then I'm going to assume that you probably don't have a great view on women either. Maybe thats wrong on my part, yes assuming isn't really a good thing to do.Now I'm being told that I need to give a second chance because I've been given second chances before. True I have. That in no way means I'm obligated to give them going forward. Because for every time I've gotten one I've also been denied one.People get this wrong all the time NO ONE deserves a second chance. The deserve the opportunity to prove that they deserve one. Unless they happen to do something that's on your deal breaker listIs that wrong? Am I the asshole here? How do I get them to see this isn't acceptable? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2gMms1b
