New Stepmom, looking for advice with 8yr old boy...

I am hoping to get some advice. I am not married yet but will be in 2 months. We (my fiance and I) recently bought a house and his son's mother decided that now is the perfect time to allow him to come and stay with his dad. Typically, his dad has him for the summer and holidays, spring break, etc. For sake of this post, I will call him Jr. Well, I have been exposed to Jr. every summer for the past 3 years (living in my home) and he is now 8. Jr. has never really been disrespectful, more so, he just acts like I don't exist unless I am doing something for him or taking him somewhere.
