| I am at my wits end with my Step-son-to-be! "G" was on his worst behavior by far this past weekend. I am so happy he has gone to stay with his mother for the next couple of weeks. It is sad to say, but it will be such a relief to have a few days without having to say (or hear) "Stop it! Don't do that! You were told not to touch/ do that! Stop it! I said Stop it! I said do it now! I mean it! Behave yourself! Do you want another time out?" We went back home on vacation to visit some of my friends, and after his behavior I needed a vacation from my vacation. I spent most of it scolding him, keeping him out of trouble (along with my boyfriend, who seems to zone out at times when he is being a little shit) and apologizing to friends who had to constantly scold him. Suffice to say my vacation was pretty much ruined. I guess this should be considered part and parcel of being a parent, but I would like to think I would parent a child so situations such as these wouldn't have ended up being so frequent. I raised my niece for 5 years and she never behaved in this manor. |

| It sounds like the child is acting out, and is wanting "attention". His world used to be perfect, before the divorce. Not knowing if the parents speak bad toward each other while in his presence may have some effect on him. He is a child, he needs to be loved, held, and told, that your best interest is his. Your boyfriend should be spending time with him-nuturing and loving him. Maybe you should also be addressing your boyfriend too. |
