In reference to my question earlier about the cell charges?

i was against my step son having the phone to begin with. i told my husband and his mother that this child was to irresponsible for a phone and should get pay as you go phones. they insisted. now i also felt he did not need it because he is always with an adult. what does a kid his age need a phone for. we have had trouble with it from week one. my husband and my husbands mom who bought the phone never believed me. as far as the kids mom she has given up. she sent him to live with us b/c he is difficult. he just shuts down if he does something wrong and is confronted. he is selfish and wants everything. when told no he gets mad. me on the other hand i am not a push over. i have a step mom and loved her greatly. this child tells my husband he wants to go live with the childs mothers ex-husband. says he is on a quest to live in multiple places to learn from each place. to me seems he wants to leave when he is in deep trouble. so i know i am right. i just wish every one else would see.

As long as you are not paying the bill. The one responsible for the bill will wake up one day when they pay one that is not justified.





Seems as if this child has to many influences in his life and he feels he has the right to choose who influences him.





Sad thing is, you are his step-mother and not the one that needs to be dictating to him, he will resent it simply because you are his step-mother. Does not make it right, just the way it usually works.





When that bill comes in because he has abused the priviledge of having a cell phone someone will wake up.
Reply:It is hard to be a step parent, getting vetoed by the bio parents is a common occurance. Stand your ground, it sounds like he is very spoiled and uses wanting to live elsewhere as an excuse to run out on his bad behaviors. Until Mom and Dad stand up to him you are only going to be beating your head against a wall.
