Stepson says "no" to everything...

I don't know what to make out of this situation...Everytime I offer stepson snacks for school, or anything for that matter, his answer is always "NO." I don't know what to make out of it, I don't know if biomom is telling him not to accept anything from me or what. I feel like a bad stepmom, when all I do is be nice to him.

Did you ever ask him why he doesn't want any snacks for school and see what he says? Maybe he has some other reason for saying no. Maybe there is a solution to what ever the problem is.

I did ask him he just says no it's okay. But this is a bit strange because even if I ask him to come with my daughter and I to some place he still says no. I can see it in his eyes, like he is hiding something from me, that he can't tell me. You know when you just have that gut feeling. I can't really tell him to tell me the truth cause he'll go back and tell his mom that I'm harrassing him or something.

Dear Happy Mom,
Just wait him out. Sooner or later, he'll come around. It's hard to work around the BS that bio parents feed their kids about stepmoms. Just make him feel welcome....for now, that's about as much as you can do. I suspect that biomom is working her way into masterminding a case of PAS (Parental Alientation Syndrome). Make sure that you document everything. You may need it later down the road.
Regards,
Sweetie

Thanks for your comments girls, I really appreciate it. I won't bother with stepson refusing everything I do for him. He is just going to miss out on the good stuff about me. All my nieces and nephews are so good to me and they just love me and enjoy being around me. I truly love children and it's disturbing to see a child refuse to be with you or acknowledge you because they are being brainwashed by their mom.
