I am so tired of SS treating me like an asshole. He doesn't get what he wants, he becomes this rude little jerk. I go out of my way to help him, bend over backwards to make sure he has everything he needs, even during the week when his dad isn't home, and it's still not good enough.

Our fight today, and the straw that broke the camel's back, was he asked me to take him and pick him up from work because it's raining (usually he rides his bike). His work is about a 20-30 minute drive, each way, depending on traffic. I told him I would do it, but then asked if he's followed up with any places closer to us for a job, because taking him to/from work every day was going to get a little expensive. He took that as I didn't want to take him and starts with his attitude.

Him: Nevermind, I'll get myself to/from work
Him: Well you're complaining about gas, just forget it

Well, I'm sorry, it's true. Gas is expensive and you need to find a job closer to home. End of story. But of course, because I dared ask a related question, I'm the bitch and he doesn't need my help.

Nevermind the times I've gone to pick him up from work, without being asked, because it was raining. Nevermind the time I picked him up from work, without being asked, because his bike broke on the way to work. Nevermind the times I've taken him to and from a friend's house. Or forget the fact that I pay for 90% of the food for the house since his dad is on the road...food that SS eats up freely.

I'm so tired of not being appreciated. He thinks in his head that I'm like his last 2 step dads, well I can become it then. I'll be a bitch, and see how he likes it. He can start saving his pennies, and find his own place, I'm done being the nice guy and getting walked on!

*EDIT* After a lot of thought about this, you are all RIGHT! Tonight when he gets home from work I will be giving him an ultimatum. Change his attitude or get out (his dad backs me on this). And I will not be doing anything for him until his attitude towards me changes.
