Been with my 3rd wife for 7 + years. She as 2 boys from her first marrage. Her 14 year old has got to be the rudest little turd I seen yet. Now I am old school kids just do not disrespect adults period. This kid over the last 3 years has developed a mouth on him like hell birthed him. F this f that . Out right dsreectful to me and his mom. Thinks he can say things like shut up and you fat F etc to us. I am strict as hell. I lock hs azz down. Take everything away, I feel his mother is a bit more kind then I. Needless to say, no matter what we do or try he is bound and determined to take our marrage down with him. The more I crack down, the worse he gets. I just want to ring the turds neck. I can not even stand looking at the prick any more. Now I love my wife, I really do. Thus why the 7 years together.

But this kid is pushing me to the bad place FAST.

He has no respect what so ever, nothing but a war 24/7 between us. More he acts out, the more I punish him. Yet the more he just acts out again. If he's miserable, the house must be miserable to.

I got to tell ya, not so happy these days. I think the kid needs help. Yet she thinks it's all just teenager normal stuff.

I am just not the type to take disrespect from a 14 year old kid. I'll be famed before I ever let a kid run my house. Not about to let him walk all over his mom to.

I guess I just need a sounding board here. Might help to talk I reckon. I am out right out of ideas other wise.
