Swearing in front of adults?

My SS18 swears when he is talking to DW all the time and she doesn't bat an eye. He drops the f-bomb like its nothing. I certainly don't expect to hear "no ma'am" come out of his mouth but "f*ck no"?? I am expecting him to say "pass the f*cking gravy" at the dinner table one of these days. Is this a "normal teenage" thing to do? DW seems to think that it is harmless and he will grow out of it. I feel like it is extremely disrespectful and I have told him that he should not get in the habit of using language like that. The comment went unheeded.

Alone with SS18 for three weeks!!

Newsflash: DW will be leaving next week for China at the end of April, on business. For three weeks. :jawdrop:

I'm a new stepfather (married last year) and I have never been alone with the skid for more than 4 hours. And he was in his room the entire time. DW is the common denominator in our lives and the fact that she's going to be gone for that long scares the shit out of both me and the skid.

Dealing with SS18

Hi there I've never posted anything before and this is my story thus far.

I married my DW 1 year ago and became stepfather to SS18. I'm 45 years old, no kids from my previous marriage. I suppose I was a little too optimistic about the whole "blended family" idea. I am madly in love with DW but I never really stopped to think how SS18 fit into the picture.
