My 4 year old stepson misbehaved at school today, spiting on 2 girls, I sent him to his bedroom to think about his actions. My wife after not even a hour just let's him out to play PS4 without not even a "don't do it again". I'm mad as hell but what can I do, right? My question is am I wrong to discipline the boy or should I ignore and just let his mommy take charge?

In my opinion, if you live together as a family the disciplining should come from both 'parents' (also the step) just like in a traditional family where both parents stay together. Children need the same rules and consequences from both sides, to avoid confusion or manipulation to take place. But you and your wife should be agreeable on this matter. I hope that makes sense. :-)
