I love my step son so very much but everyone else makes it so hard to be his step mom. this is…

hang in there Im pretty sure he appreciates what u do for him and that's all that matters! we need more step parents like you!

He'll see it someday. maybe not today but eventually.

@memeboo08,

yeah it always seem to work out that way. especially if he is to young to understand.

He's 9yr old. everyone babies him and he gets away with breaking the rules all the time. he for some reason thinks rules do not apply to him. I have twin 10yr old boys so rules are big here. he is the only child at his mom's. I came into the picture 3 years ago. it only tends to get worse. I'll keep trying though.

keep forgetting to tag you @memeboo08

oh okay yeah that may take a while to break especially going from your place and back to his mom. but as long as you and his dad are constant with the disciplining and instructing him eventually he'll come around. it's has to be difficult for him to being the only child in one household then tryn to share the attention with other kids in another.

yea that's a big wake up call for him but he'll get over it and its healthy for him. Somebody has to be teach him accountability, self control and all that good stuff. Sad that you're alone in doing that for him but that's what makes a decent human being because the real world couldn't care any less about "only child". better to teach him young so he can get used to it so he has a chance

yeah one extreme to another. it use to be good but as he's gotten older it's got bad. I don't see it getting easier unless her lives with us, which is what he wants but he doesn't get a voice. his mom would say no and so would the courts bc he's too young.

@memeboo08, @ce5ce

my 3 yr old is really my step son but he calls n treats me like I'm his bio mom cuz his mom is not a parent to him at all to him but in the state I live in they don't give two shot about dead beat parents she don't pay child support like she's ordered to she didn't even buy or call to wish him a happy birthday. but she can sit here n buy herself n her so called boyfriend all this stuff while my hubby n I bust but to get him stuff he need n get him ready for preschool.
