I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but here goes.
I am both a BM and a SS. I have already brought up 2 DD (from 1st marriage) to be responsible and independant adults who are making their own way in the world. I also have DS, 2 year old (from 2nd marriage).
DH's son moved in about a year ago.
He has taken me for granted from day one, expects me to do everything for him without a please or thankyou (unless prompted), even my DS uses manners in his limited volcabulary.
I know people parent in different styles but surely good manners, pulling your weight when you have a limited list of chores to do, and speaking to people in a civil way aren't to much to ask.
Is it too much to ask of him to tidy after himself, clean the bath/shower, change his bedding once a week, I could go on.
At the end of the day he's driving a wedge between DH and myself, which is exactly what he did to his BM and SF. I'm fed up with the arguements about him, DH says to sort it out myself, but he's not my child. I'm not here to be a slave to him and unless he changes his ways soon I'm sorely tempted to move out with DS.
