I found this site out of complete frustration of being a SM. I have a two-yr old of my own and an almost 11 yo SS. J and I have been together for 5 yrs and I just cant seem to bond w that kid. He just annoys me- everything he does just bugs. To be more specific- Ive been asking him for going on a yr now to have his bed made, teeth brushed, and clothes on by 0900 and he just still doesn't do it. I asked him all quarter how he was doing in school and he would always say good. brought home D's and 9 tardies. These things are silly to some extent...
