My Step kids are horrible examples for my little one

I have a 3 yr old daughter and two stepkids 7 and 10. My stepson, is a spoiled brat. He acts like more if a child than my 3 yr old. His most recent stunt is to follow his dad around the house and breakdown emotionally when his dad leaves him with me. We just recently went on vacation with friends and not one of them wanted anything to do with this kid because he has no respect. Whenever he gets reprimanded by any adult other than his father he cries uncontrollably for his dad. His behavior towards adults and his sisters is mean. He gives dirty looks, Makes faces and noises. When I say no, dad says yes. I just asked the little bastard if he could not tell at midnight while he and his dad are playing a video game. He completely ignored me and his father said he wasn't being loud. Everything I say, dad makes excuses for his sons poor behavior. He's lazy. He won't sleep in his room, never has. He throws tantrums when his dad won't sleep with him. He whines constantly. I must hear 1000 times a day, "where's dad". I don't want my daughter to behave like him. He can't/won't even use a napkin. He's a pig. I can't wait for him to go back to his mother.

Is this brat the 7 or 10 year old? Why does he still need to be slept with? What is up with these kids sleeping with parents way too long?

He's what his father has allowed and trained him to be. I don't know if he's the dad of your 3 y/o or not, but your DH/SO, whatever is the one that you have a problem with. The kid is just being a kid - an unparented, bratty kid, but at 7 or 10, that's not so much his fault. Dad obviously totally sucks as a parent and until he becomes a better father none of this will change. It will get worse as the kid gets older.

I dealt with similar when I was married and had SD. There was something wrong with her, possibly autism spectrum. Neither my two kids nor her 3 other half siblings at her mom's turned out anything like her. Often the youngers can see how stupid the olders are acting and don't want any part of it.

I agree with sally .
Anyways even if not step siblings .
There are sibling fights . as the elderly ones bully the younger kids and give wrong examples to the kids .
