Problems with step son and father

[birty]

I have been with my partner for six years and have have his son every weekend Frid to Sun pm since he was two and half. My step son has always had behaviour problems and the problem I'm now having is the back chat and recently he raised his hand to me. My partner does not give me his 100% support and back me up when he's behaving in this way. My step son is eight and I have two boy's of my own and I'm frightened that they will start to copy! I have spoken to my partner many times regarding support and that I feel like the wicked step mother. Need advise help!

Your step-son will continue to behave like this as long as he knows your partner does not support you. By choosing not to back you up, your partner is condoning his DS's behaviour. He has no right to do that.

Are your other 2 boys from a previous relationship, or is your DP their father?

mY PARTNER IS THEIR FATHER. i GET MORE SUPPORT FROM HIS MOTHER!

Im sick of the back chat I get from my part time step kids...9 & 12.
Thier mum doesnt help as I heard her tell one of her children to tell me to "shut up"...I treat her children with kindness & respect & thats what ya get...My child would get a good hiding if he ever disrispected me like that....These spoilt children expect to be treated like thier hard done by..When the problem is they get tooo much.
