My step son is 11 yo and I just don't like him! Ok that sounds bad.
He stays over night with us alternative weekends, then one weekend a month we have him 8-7 and the other weekend my hubby just takes him to football then home. the thing is, we live in a small 2 bed flat and he won't share a room with my daughter (6yo) so he goes to bed in our bed then gets transferred to sofa when we go to bed. Housing won't move us as he isn't with us enough.
Also his attitude stinks. I try not to get involved but whenever I do he won't listen. He shouts at me or just cries.
He ignores my daughter 75% of the time or is nasty to her.
I'm now 20w pregnant with my 2nd and I just can't take the stress anymore. I've spoken to hubby who generally agrees with me but is worried about getting limited access or being taken to csa (we currently have an arrangement privately with the mum and pay her weekly)
I just don't know what to do. Just needing to rant really

Hello hello
Can see that there is a fair amount of heated debate here and we know that step parenting is certainly NOT easy.

Would remind you all that Mumsnet is here to make lives EASIER and that this is not AIBU and that sometimes the one thing we can all do with is some moral support.

Oh Christ really!!!!

Some one ran to MNHQ. Some folk need to grow up.

We do ask people to report anything they are concerned about - so no need to be harsh there.
AGain, a reminder that we're here to make lives easier
On that note, can I please give you all a daffodil.
