The dismissive attitude got me here today, lol.

I really love my Step-Son but he's a normal 15 yr old who (like everyone at 15) has it all figured out.

Unfortunately I got loud with him because I don't tolerate dismissiveness from someone I'm paying the way for. I'm not sure how others deal with this hurdle and I was wondering if anyone can provide some experience backed guidance. I think most of us can probably agree that yelling really never helps the root cause of the issue.

Any thoughts?
