any of you guys got step kids?????

[Dink]

I've got a situation here with my wife's ex.....he's a real pillar of society.....holds a job just long enough to qualify for unemployment, sits home drinkin beer all day, just a real piece of work.....

Kid in question is 12, bout to be 13.....he sees the attitude that his dad has with his mom and is mimicking it.......

I cant whip him, the dad or the boy, that would just add fire to the gasoline......I can only reason with him so much, but his dad just shoots whatever I tell him down......


Suggestions? This is really making my homelife difficult.......thanks
