[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you really need to pick your battles here. What, exactly, is the problem? He doesn't hold his baby brother? So what? I get the feeling that if he did, that would be a big problem for you anyway (the germs!). He doesn't pull his weight. Okay. That's really his dad's problem though, isn't it? What irks you the most, and what is your problem? You have a newborn. Concentrate on what is your real problem right now. Because I can't imagine writing this post with a newborn to care for. [/quote] I typed this post on my phone last night as I was rocking my sleeping baby, hoping that venting my anger anonymously would help me let go of it a little so I would not carry it with me into another day with my baby and husband. Why irks me the most is that a fully capable, fully fit adult with no expenses at all and a good income keeps mooching off his hardworking dad for money to party or clean up his irresponsible messes, like reckless driving. I realize my DH is enabling him by never following through when tries to say no and faces his son's cold shoulder, but it's my stepson's ingratitude and unkindness to his father that makes me most angry. I don't care if the kid's biggest hobby is not playing with a baby, but when your little brother is having heart surgery, you can be arsed to make it to the hospital to see if you can help or show concern.[b] It's what decent people do for family, and I expect better from someone who has been raised by a parent who has shown such dedication.[/b][/quote] Maybe you should stop expecting "decency" at this time from immature stepson.[/quote]
