Hello! This is my very first Blog entry EVER! I Googled "what do you do if you do not like your Step Son" (which I feel horrible about) and StepTalk.org came up....I read the first post and it sounded like I had written it myself....so I figured after 6 years of being "alone" it might be nice to talk to other people who are in a similar situation as myself....and perhaps get rid of the horrible feeling of "ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" that I get when I hear my stepson walk in the front door of our house. I feel so guilty feeling the way that I do about him, but I do not know how to change it....and that is where I am hoping talking with others will help.....maybe I do not have to necessarly "change" the way I feel, but perhaps I need to look at things that bother me about my SS in a different light :? Time and talking it out will tell......

Here is a little bit about myself, I have been married to my husband for almost 6 years, my husband and I have a little girl who is almost 5 and my husband's son, (my stepson) is 15.

When my stepson was younger, he was cute, sweet and I liked him.

Now that he is in his teens, he is moody, obnoxious and I am having problems liking him.

He has always been respectful as far as doing what I ask him to do at the MOMENT I ask him to do it (like taking out the trash or clearing the table etc...) and for that I am dearly blessed. :0)

But as for the rest of his persona HE IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!!!! Not only is he a teen-ager and going through all of his teen ager stuff, he is pretty much the most annoying person I have ever met...

I want to learn to let the small stuff go....BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW! Sometimes I want to pull my hair out of my head...dear Lord please grant me patience!!!
