What do you do with a mouthy 14 year old SS who Skips school to go have unprotected sex with his 14 year old girlfriend!!!????? I know what I feel like doing but what is the right thing to do. He currently lives with Bm and has for the last 10 months for the first time since he was 3 and his behavior has consistantly gone down hill. He is so disrespectful and argumentitive and quite hateful, Bm doesn't help she gives into him because she doesn't want to fight with him and DH does the samething sometimes.. I have never met a kid that liked to fight soo much. I have made a slight breakthrough with BM this week, I called her sunday night and told her how I feel about her lack of parenting and how she needs to change a few things.... She did follow some of my advice after calling me a bitch behind my back( like I wouldn't know, but I ecpected as much)But tonight when she called to tell about SS skiping school, she wanted to talk to me not DH, and (get ready for it)asked for my advice on the situation, and follwed my advice....... I know GASP!!!!! But I could use a little help here to as a stepmom, where do I step in and were do I back off, and really what do I do with this kid!!!!!!! A little help please!!!

Is this the same kid who you wanted out of your house and the same one who did thousands of dollars of damage? I hope I don't have you confused with someone else.
Being a stepmom is hard, but it doesn't sound like either parent wants to do what is needed for this child. Really you have no legal right to do anything. I know its hard but you need to try to disengage and try to not allow this to bother you. Its a hard thing and I wish you well.
