My bf 12yo son has no respect for him whatsoever. He hardly spends time/talks/ or texts him. But, when he does come over he expects the world to revolve around him. If we spend time doing something other than what he wants to do, it's "oh, you're picking her (meaning me) over me. I get so tired of hearing this! I'm sorry, but I think a 12 year old is old enough to know the world does not revolve around him constantly, especially when he is so inconsistent with coming over to bfs house.

is this behavior normal?

The previous blog posted regarding step children being very childish and immature made me think about something else that has always struck me as a bit strange regarding my bf's 12 yo son.

He very rarely showers, brushes his teeth, his hair, etc. Trying to get him to do so is very difficult, and it has gotten to the point that my bf doesn't even really argue with him about it anymore. I said to him "Don't you think kids at school are going to start making fun of him?" His response is, well if that happens maybe he will finally start to do it.
