how am I supposed to be able to be happy and actually enjoy having my step kid around when he refuses to eat anything I cook (I'm not a bad cook) he would rather eat a can of chef boyrd then a home cooked meal when he is here. he refuses to listen to anything I say. and I'm the bad guy when I mention that he needs to be in trouble for not eating dinner. saying I put too much on his plate the kid is 5 I put more on my friends 4 year Olds plate when I babysit sit him. I am about to walk away cuz idk how to deal with this kid and it keeps starting fights. im one week away from habing my first child but i have been around kids my whole life. i know a spoiled brat when i see one. this kids mother doesnt have rules and if she does she doesnt enforce them. i just need help figuring out how to deal with this before i walk away for good... :-/

@beebaby, is right start him off with small portions then give him more if he wants it. And also it's what you cook or nothing but dad has to back you up. If their is a division the kids know and they will use it to their advantage
I am a step mom to three and it's very hard. Especially when the two don't co parent together. She's lacks responsibility for them or don't give them rules. It's just difficult no other way to explain it I just gave up.
well if the mother doesn't enforce rules its not the childs fault. first you have to talk with dad and set rules and have a schedule. a lot of 5 yr olds are like that calling him a spoiled brat isn't going to solve that issue. my 6 yr old and 4 yr old do the same thing sometimes and i do have rules i tell them they have to try at least a bite or two before they can say they don't like it. and that would just tell me his mom doesn't cook food. just warms stuff up. but I'd be upset if my SO called my children brats for their eating habits
Being a step mom is very hard. I know how you feel.
@ashthomaswilliams2016 i dont call him spoiled just cuz.of his eating habits its more of that he will sit there and cry for hours if his father doesnt spend every second of the day with the kid. and he.does get home cooked meals at his mothers house. and he eats them just fine there.
