Hi from reading through the posts I no i'm not the only one with this problem. My partner is very supportive of me disciplining my step son my problem is that my Step Son's mummy allows him to do what he wants. He has no rules and is allowed to do what he wants and gets everything he wants. When he is in our house their is rules in place 90% of which are for his befit. The others are picking up after him self hes 9. My problem is when I tell him of for something he immediately goes home and tells his mummy who then in turn gets on the phone and gives out to my partner cause she thinks he should be allowed to do what he wants with no consensuses. An i'm always the bad person in my step sons eyes when I tell him of for something I no 90% of it is cause he is a wee boy but the other 10% is because its me. Cause he would never answer my partner back or speak to him the way he speaks to me. He lives with us one afternoon/ night a week and all weekend.
