[QUOTE="JLyen, post: 480616, member: 13221"] Jill2009 I have a friend with a son like that. He is always disobedient and trying to get a rise out of his brother. A few things to mention are that it is always a hard adjustment to have to share someone that you have never had to share before i.e. his dad. And that moving is hard in itself. Some of this could be that he just does not like the facts of life. Now, A few questions, have you spoke to your boyfriend about "A" actions? and how serious does he see them? No you should not let him run over you in this way. Set ground rules and post them in a highly visible place in the house with the consequences for the actions. Never fail on carrying out the consequences. If these consequences seem to fail then change em to something that will strike a nerve with him. Another consideration is that he has a severe case of ODD and some depression issues. Counselling is an option. In addition make sure that you speak with your son about his feelings on the whole thing. I am all about preserving your relationship but making sure that the timing is right and that your son does not feel he is being replaced is vitally important too. I hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
