DP and I have been together for 6 years. We have 1 DC together and I have older DC including DS (9) from previous marriage.
DS has never been able to take responsibility and never apologises. He’s quite shy and I understand it’s difficult even for adults to apologise but I feel it’s important he starts trying.
He will often pinches sweets/chocolate if we ever get them and has also taken bags of sugar and eaten them in his room.
DP has never been that close to DS although they are starting to spend more time together.
DP has some birthday sweets on top of the fridge which kept disappearing. DS finally admitted to taking a few. DP said he wanted an apology. He wouldn’t apologise as thought DP would just shout at him/didn’t feel confident doing it and finally agreed to write a note to say sorry.
Is DS behaving like a spoilt brat or is DP being petty?
