SS12 is a total brat!! selfish,lazy,selfcentered in every way and horribly mouthy!! Well BM and I have been discussing this for the last few months and I have let her know some of my frustrations and we are starting to have a working relationship! well I let BM know that I was no longer going to accept his bad behaviour and neither should she, we both deserve some respect! she agrees! I let her know that from now on when SS12 starts in one of his moods that He only gets one warning and BM was there and backed me up when he was told this! works well so far!

The people over at the DR.Phil show are now aware of this site and may now adress some of the problems we face as step parents. Let our voices be heard and our thoughts, feelings, opinions, and concerns be addressed publicly so that we no longer need to be the evil stepparent but people who have issues that need to be adressed!

I tell him to get up that's it, I never make his lunch anymore but I did today so he wouldn't be late. HE has an alarm clock but won't get up when it goes off anyway, got that for him 2 years ago! It is too far for him to walk to school (25 miles) so I can't even make him walk if he misses the bus! We both work so we can't leave him home alone or he would just sit and watch T.V all day, then he would miss the bus everyday!

If he had been in my house just one more minute this morning I would have lost it! He got home last night from BM's (i wish he had stayed there)and it has been hell ever since, even the sound of his voice makes me want to scream!!!! he has been starting fights and throwing tantrums since he got here and no this is not because he was at BM's (she's actually getting better to deal with) this is just his normal f'ing little brat self!
