My 45yr old boyfriend has three sons 27, 15, 12 yrs of age. The one I have an issue with is the father and the 12 yr. old. I just got hung up on last night by the father because I was trying to explain to him how I feel about what the son is doing and what him as a father isn't doing.

I have noticed a trend in the last year which kindof makes me want to slap the sh** out of the kid. I have a 23yr. old son who is a wonderful person. He is a University student who worked to pay his student loan etc. he made it his choice to payoff his SL before going back to school. So it's not like I am a terrible person the wicked stepmother.

I will start with the use of vulgar language the 12 yr old feels it's ok to use the word Fu**, Bi***, Cu**, those are the nastier ones. The words are used pretty much in every sentence with his father sitting next to him and no correction, discipline.

I had a situation happen last year when we went to get the brat his bike. As the bike was put into my vehicle because his father didn't own one at the time, the kid called me a Cu**. The father didn't even blink. I got upset and told the kid what he has said was inappropriate and I didn't appreciate being called names. His father then wanted to stop at McD to get his kid a flurry. Great! I know what I would have done. Bike back in store kid in bedroom and grounded for two weeks.

This kid also likes to insult his father verbally call him names, also if his father is resting the kid likes to scream out to his father and demand food, or drinks etc. The kid insults his brother who is 15yrs old verbally. The school is sending messages and calling almost every day because of this kids abusive attitude and mouth. When his father yells at him, he automatically says he is sorry and hugs his father while looking at me and smirking.

His father suffers from depression and stress when this happens and I am with the father the kid decides to live with his mother because he doesn't want to be with his father while he isn't happy. I really don't like this kid. Oh God I don't like this kid.

So last night, I was explaining to the father that his son was on the internet as a host for a gaming room. The kid is only 12 and is hosting a room full of adults. The kid told the adults in the room he is 19 yrs. old. So trying to explain to the father this isn't something the kid should do due to the atmosphere in the room based on "age" the father became defensive and asked what the big deal was. I explained that things are talked about in the room and the child is not responsible judge of character actually this kid is like a dirt junkie anything related to sex and opposite sex he is there. I explained that this kid needs some structure, consequences for his actions. He became defensive and told me I was calling him a bad father. I told him he was a father who didn't want to react to his kid because that would require him to do something consistent like pay attention to his kid. That ended the phone call.

I know I should just walk away and leave the father to deal with the consequences because they are coming. Also, what I find hilarious is the fact if I correct the kid and send him to his room or tell the kid what he is saying or how he is treating father isn't fair the father looks at me like I just smacked the kid. Do you all agree I should just walk away and never look back? My son definitely thinks the kid is a brat and doesn't want anything to do with him. Can't blame him. I want some advice.

Well if he asks again if you are saying he is a bad dad, please tell him Yes, that is exactly what I am saying!!

He needs to teach this kid to respect his elders, and respect women!! before someone beats the crap out of him. He is crippling his child if he doesn't - dur!!!

Where is the BM in all this? Does he talk that way to her too? Next time, at Minimum, please - kick him out of your car-!! Whoa-!!

So you are still around? Honey this man is not worth it. Nothing is unattractive as a milquetoast father who allows his son to use profanities. Hell, if I had heard him speaking to you like that I would have marched on over and told both of you to do something about the foul mouthed child before he gets arrested for vulgarities in a public place.

In fact, the next time he says one profanity look at his father and say "I am done. I refuse to sit here and listen to this crap any longer. You are allowing your son to disrespect women so you get to see him. I am gone. Do NOT call me, do NOT contact me. I do not want to see you or your disgusting pathetic excuse for a child again as long as I live. And *son*, you win. You get Dad all to yourself. Enjoy!"

And walk away and wash all the toxic crap out of your system. NOTHING would make me stay in such a relationship. NOTHING.

Regarding the BM she is another story all together. She likes smoking her pot and partying. She is also pretty rude. The son stays with his father the majority of the time which is why he gets away with so much.

I asked questions regarding the BM like why does she move so much? When did this man move in with her? Why did she move in with a man who you don't know? Why do you allow your kids to go with her and a complete stranger? Why is it that neither one of you sit down and talk about sitting up a routine that both of you follow when the kids are at each others homes? The answer I get is "I don't know?" Why do you have joint custody when one kid (rude one) stays with you 98% of the time? I don't know?

He is NEVER consistent with his kid. My son worked in a summer camp for kids and he seen his fair share of spoiled brats he told me the Sson is definitely a spoiled brat, he even told the kid about disrespecting me and calling me names. Nothing works. I again I need to walk away from the relationship or see the man only when the kid isn't around which is pretty much never. Oh well as is life.

Oh hun, I'm afraid you are in an impossible position and I wouldn't expect it to change... Don't walk away... RUN! Run away and never look back. This man is a horrible father and I certainly would not want my kids around this kind of role model let alone the behavior of these other kids.

I don't understand why people allow kids to talk to them so disrespectfully just because they have a father they love? It may hurt but you owe it to yourself and your own kids to get away from that. So sorry you are going through this crap.

Well folks I ended the relationship as of Wednesday past not surprising I didn't get much of a reaction from him or his kids.

So now I am enjoying some time at home with my son and some serious me time. You don't realize how mentally and physically draining it is dealing with DBF and their children until you leave them. Now it's time to fill the gaps in my life that was spent dealing with him and his issues.

I will be going back to school in about two weeks to continue with upgrading my carpentry. Life is again positive and fulfilling. Smile

For everyone who is dealing with step families my heart goes out to you. I will be more cautious in the future when dating men with children.
