First let me say he is my step son, not my biological child. He is now 10, I have been around since he was 8. He is not at all raised like I would raise a child so that dont help.
He has absolutly no respect for me. He will not listen and I can not get him to do anything. Which makes things tough as I am home almost 24/7 with him, and I so cant wait for school to start in 2 weeks.
I do not get any back up from his parents either. The opinion there is, I am and adult and I need to make him listen. There is only so much I can do, and not to have support from my other half, yet to have them both against me is hard.
Im going insane, my patience are pretty much gone, and not to mention it has put me in a bad mood 99 percent of the time. The things that tick me off just make the little things that annoy me so much worse. For example wet clothes in the laundery, clothes worn and hour or 2 in the dirty laundery. While they would annoy me before, it seems like its 10 times worse now.
HE back talks, is rude and has the "you cant make me" attitude. He has been worse since there is a friend over, but the latest thing is to tell me how my head is hollow........which tyipically blows off my shoulders and I get that alot, but it just isnt anymore.
I know its all part of rasing kids but help!!!! I am at my max of stress.
