You know as a kid I had a horrible step father, that called us names hit us with with a 2x4 and a lot more that im not willing to get into. So when I became a step mother. I promised myself that I would try very hard to love respect and to treat his kid's just as I was never treated in my own child hood. and to never see the fact that they where not truly mine. But try as I might they make it hard, his youngest one in particulate. It was once the excuse that he was just a kid and that the divorce was taking a tole on him but the fact that I have been in this child's life for the past 7 or so year's and he is not just tormenting me but others as well as my child is a factor that no adult in his life is willing to look at.

Now I can concede that I am not a person who absolutely love kid's, and want to coo all over them. My daughter get's on my nurse to. she is not some perfect angle by far. she lies, is lazy among other problem's children present on a daily. but My child also does not back talk or sass me or the other adults in our lives as My SS does. is this normal? Am I expecting to much from my SS?Or am I just upset at the fact that no adult in this boys life will put a foot in this kids ass? I would gladly step up to the plate and do it for them if I did not want to risk jail time. }:)
