So tired with teenage Stepson...

He comes over and is so rude. He will leave to go to school and not say goodbye or anything - just walk out. He stays up in his room most of the time but if he is in the common areas and BS3 tries to talk to him, he just says leave me alone or who cares or something like that. He told me that my cooking sucked this weekend (after I had spent over an hour working on it) - thank you very much - DH yelled at him but no punishment whatsoever. Then he was going to his mom's yesterday for mother's day and DH wanted him to stay so I could open my cards and of course he said why do we have to stay? who cares? she's not my mom. Thanks SS - Who is the one that helps you with your homework when you need it? Who TRIES to buy you the clothes you like and have the snacks and toiletries you enjoy at the house for you? Who picks out and pays for your Christmas and Birthday presents because god knows if DH did it, you wouldn't get half of it!! And all I am is a big fat nothing to you... I can't believe that he is so rude and would be so disrespectful and hurtful. And so DH told him he could just leave. So really no discipline so why would he act any differently? The one time I told my mom that my stepfather was not my dad she slapped me across the face and said I can't believe you would say that after all he's done for you. And I never badmouthed him again!!! I love my stepsons but I am so hurt by this... he doesn't need to treat our whole family like crap because he is a spoiled, entitled teenager!!

I need to. I have started staying up in my room sometimes when they are over and DH just says oh come down and be part of the family. Yeah right! I will never be part of that family.

Why are you still cooking for him and buying him stuff? When SD16 started this nonsense she got zip from me. Its funny to watch her ask me for something now and pretend to be nice. i still don't do anything for her.

Recently, SO had the nerve to ask me to help her with her homework. I just told him, you handled it just fine I'm sure. She doesn't need my help. Felt good.

I have to cook for the family I guess. I am going to stop buying things for them - DH can do it. I'm tired. I wish he would do something about how he is acting (like take away privileges or something) but he doesn't. Step-parenting is SO hard.

Neither SS16 said Happy M.D. Going on 5 yrs. Nice guys. After DH had his "talk" w/them Thursday -- be nice to be wife too was said. Nothing has changed. I offered to keep a calendar for DH & he declined. He doesn't want proof they don't deserve a car come Sept. Yeah, I remember vividly the 1st year, I actually cried about it. Still, even though I'm disengaged, it surprises me how ignorant they are to me.

My SSs don't say happy mother's day to me either. I kind of blame that on the men though. My mom raised me that we should buy my stepfather presents on Father's day because he fills that role when my dad wasn't around. So I always send a card and present for him. DH has never taken the kids to get me anything from them for Mother's Day so they will probably never get me anything in the future. I'm not their mom anyways - I just wish they would be respectful and nice and appreciative. And SS16 is none of the above.
