[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 618992, member: 1550"] What exactly do you want your husband to do? This is not willful bad behavior. Something beyond ADD is wrong with him. If I had to guess, I'd say he may be on the autism spectrum with sensory issues. But, really, I'm curious. Do you think you can punish away his being different? What would you like your husband to do? Your step son's inappropriate behavior, including wanting to cuddle with you, sounds a lot like a developmental delay, even if his IQ is normal. He could very well have autistic spectrum disorder. A neuropsychologist would be good for an evaluation. He certainly has some serious social deficits. What do you think the solution should be? I personally don't believe he can help it. He sounds like a very atypical kid. Will this boy clean up his poop? He may not be willing to do it. If he is very young emotionally, he may resist or not even understand why you get mad about it. Depends on what's wrong with him. Was your stepson maybe exposed to drugs before he was even born? Was his bio. mom a drug addict or an alcoholic who did stuff during her pregnancy, which may have caused some sort of brain damage? I am truly, truly, truly thinking your step son is not trying to rile you up. He really can't help how he is and you sadly don't seem to like him very much, which I understand, but he is what he is. If you have a particular idea, can you share what you think would stop it? Harsh discipline? Spanking? Grounding? None of that will stop it...he is a differently wired kid...you know more about the reason why than we do. Bet he has a bad start in life and this is not anyone's fault except perhaps bio. mom if she drank or did drugs during her pregnancy. [/QUOTE]
