Finally

Finally got up the courage to take a stand. I am tired of putting on a smile when my in laws are around and pretending like nothing is wrong with SS situation. I decided I would not take part in his 15th birthday gathering. I don't think it went over well, but I had better things to do with my time like write out Christmas cards. Think DH will finally take me seriously about him going to live with BM. It would be different if SS acted like he wanted to live with us but he is doing horribly in school and having behavior issues in school.

What to do?

Time to vent. What do you do when DH's family thinks my SS is just great? SS took items from his grandmother's house. When I gave her the items back, she said she thought she just lost them and acted like there was nothing wrong with him taking things from her house. Grandfather thinks he is the greatest kid in the world. My DH's father had the nerve to tell me a story about how his Uncle's SM pushed his uncle down the steps and broke his leg. He knows that I do not care much for my SS, but I can't believe he would tell me this and think that I would physically hurt my SS.

Don't know what to do...I hate my stepson.

I finally feel like I'm not alone. I can relate to so many comments and blog entries. I have a teenage stepson who has lived with my husband and I for the last seven years. Like many, at first I tried very hard to be a good mom to him, but got no where. I would help with homework, fix meals...all the traditional family things. At first it wasn't too bad, minor behavior problems in school mostly. Now that he is a teenager things have gotten worse. He is stealing things from the house.
