Should I feel disrespected

:? I just found out that my stepson got into college. I did not find out from him though, I found out from another mother at a football game. When I asked my husband about it he was angry because he had told his son several times to call and tell me. See I work out of state and do this because my husband got injured during his work and is still not able to work, so we made the decision for me to go on the road with my job so that the kids lifestyle would not have to change. We cover their school, insurance and carnotes and most other expenses. Their BM does very little unless she is going to be in the spotlight.

I feel that he should have called me and let me know, like is father told him to, but also because I am the one they always come to me when they need something. The fact that he did not tell me, to me is disrespectful and just rude.

We have had several conversations with him about this behaviour before and he just doesn't seem to get it but says he wants a "mother/son" relationship with me but how is that going to happen when he does stuff like this.

I am just so hurt that I don't even want to talk to him, but I have taken the car away until he talks to me face to face.

Somebody please help.

He was told four times to call and let me know, and yes I will be contributing to his college as I have been contributing to his private high school. If not his BM won't do anything, she didn't for his sister when she went to college.

I did buy the car and I'm sorry but since he is not in college YET, he will live by his father and my rules or he can leave the car, go live with his mother and see how far he gets because she does NOTHING for either him or is sister. I've done it all, as if I had given birth to them,and yes that is by my choice, but disrespect is still not something I'm willing to put up with.

I can understand your way of thinking but when I married my husband I married his children also and I love them like they are my own. They are already treated like afterthoughts by their mother, they dont't need another person treating them that way. Yes I make a comfortable living but not enought that i can continue to live this way. My husband will go back to work, hopefully soon.

Cut him off...Easy, respect is earned, and he has not earned any. Seriously, why continue to provide for an ungrateful child.

If he was your BC would you cut him off? Please no longer respond you sound JUST LIKE his BM. She doesn't care about him unless it benefits her.

Sounds like a typical teenager not doing what hes told to me *out of sight, out of mind!! But I agree, he needs to be told that that is not acceptable behaviour.

Ok, I agree that he should have called me but just because he is my SK doesn't mean I'm going to
"CUT HIM OFF". That is pretty much what his BM does so I don't think having someone else doing that is going to help the attitude, but thanks for responding
