My stepmom and I got up early to cook breakfast. croissants, egg whites, turkey bacon and strawberries for garnish ( Sorry I'm just proud of myself for cooking such a healthy meal lol). Anyways SS5 eats his croissant and then just grabs the one off of my plate. I told him that you do not put your hand on someone's plate. He started to throw a royal tantrum about being hungry and he doesn't like the other food. DH doesn't do a damn thing other than say " SS calm down you can have mines". My dad made a comment " That's how you raise a sissy boy all that crying and crap if he was my boy he would be in his room right now". DH had nothing to say so everyone went back to eating until SS finished DH's croissant and then asked my SM for hers and my SM told him its not nice to ask for another person's food when you've finished yours. He throws another tantrum. I get up and tell DH if he doesn't send SS to his room I will walk him there myself.

I'm getting really sick and tired of DH just letting him throw tantrums. He is acting like a baby who has a poopy diaper and hasn't taken a nap. While the baby of the house is sitting on his high chair quite and content to himself slobbering down a banana and smacking his hands on a squished banana slice lol.

I am so sorry, I know exactly how this feels, horrible. My DH refuses to see the problem too, even when others have pointed it out. My SS11 will go to family functions with my family (I don't attend DHs family functions), and he will fill a plate with food, I mean FILL it, and then he will proceed to eat one or two bites and throw the rest away, but when ice cream or other sweets come out he is first in line and DH never ever ever ever tells him no. His table manners are atrocious, constantly chews with his mouth open, loudly and talks with food coming out of his mouth. I tried talking to DH about all of this and was met with the all too common " you hate my kids". For me, the only option was to disengage from all of it. I remind myself they aren't my kids, if they grow up with no social skills and no ability to function in life outside of their birth family, not my issue. I apologize in advance to anyone who has to deal with them as adults, but disengagement was the only option for MY sanity. it may be for yours too. Sad
