“You’re not allowed to ground my son”: Stepmom grounds 17-year-old stepson for disrespecting her, husband intervenes and ungrounds him, causing marital crisis

Welcome back people of the internet. Parenting is like being on a trampoline with other people bouncing and you can't stand up for a second and ground yourself. It's constant war with your children, your husband or wife, and with yourself. Sometimes you may not be on board with parenting styles as your spouse, so it's important to talk about these things early on. Maybe you want to be a "hands off" type of parent, whose aloof behavior will make the child weave their own way through self-motivation. Maybe you want to be the disciplinary, with extremely high standards for your kids, always pushing them and putting consequences on their bad behavior. Maybe you're somewhere in the middle, but no matter how you act, you have to have some sort of agreement with your partner. 

In the story below, that's not exactly the case. The couple fights over parenting, but the context is that they're divorcees with children from other relationships. The protagonist is the father, and he has an older son from a different marriage. He and his wife share two other boys, but she suddenly insists on parenting him more than a stepmom should be permitted to. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
