I have a 20 year old stepson who is living with me and my wife in my house. My stepson's biological father has been out of the picture for more than ten years. I have been in a relationship with my wife and stepson for 7 years. My wife currently works full-time and I recently got laid off from work, leaving me to care for the house. The problem with my stepson is that he sometimes never talks to me. When I make dinner, he's never hungry. I have provided him with a car as a gift and he comes and goes as he pleases. When I get up early after my wife leaves to work, he's still sleeps and he sometimes does not wake-up until 1-2 o'clock in the afternoon. he does not do chores in the the house, but when I ask him to do a simple task, he completes it half-way and returns back to his room to baracade himself on the computer and x-box. His behavior really annoys me. I have discussed this to his my wife (his mother)on numerous occasions only to be told that this is normal for him and that i have to accept his behavior and we usually end up arguing about this. He and his mother(my wife) are also spanish-speaking and sometimes when my wife and I are at the dinner table holding a conversation, he will come from his room to come sit at the table to hold a dialogue with my wife in spanish, interrupting our conversation (I do not speak spanish). I have been nice and have gone beyond the call-of-duty to care for my stepson, but sometimes he disrespect me and acts fridgid towards me. I cannot understand why he acts this way. He has been this way ever since the beginning of our relationship. Can someone relate to this or give me some advice on how to deal with this ???
