We not had children of our own(o jam two sm he had one) his son has always done what he wants being an only child for so long and having been abandoned by host mother contributed in my husband and mother Im law to spool Jim rotten. He is now 15 and my son is 11 my son does all his chores nut. U step son is not allowed to do any chores. He does nothing but watch tv and play video games. His grades have gone down and i am not allowed to say anything. If i tell my husband about a complaint from school he believes his son and not me. His son has even gone as far as threatening to commit suicide when he gets caught cutting class.my husband does nothing about this and seems to feel sorry for him because his mother left. What can i do to make my husband understand that his son is a liar and that not having his mother around does not make him a cripple?

 Frankly I am more concerned about your 11 year old! Get that kid out of this caotic situation now. He should be more important to you than your awful stepson and his equally noncaring father. That 15 year old is playing you two against the middle and your 11 year old is seeing all of it. Perhaps hubby will get it right when his son winds up gettng arrested because that's where he is heading. Do you really want your own son in the middle of this caos?

To be honest it sounds like your family needs professional help, go see a family counselor. If your husband doesn't believe you the boy probably knows this and is using it to his advantage, have the school call your husband instead also if he doesn't believe you than that might lead to bigger marriage problems. My advice, seek professional help if this continues. A lot of people discredit counselors, therapists and such but you should go to a few and meet with the main counselor and see which one you click with the most and see what they can do to help.
