[b]Don't you think that the threat of kicking him out will make him respect your boundaries? [/b] Maybe if you gave him some rules to follow that he might actually follow them?  Believe me, you will be in this situation soon agian with your ten year old because that is what they are learning!  I can do whatever I want and mom and dad might not like it but, I still get to do what I want.

Of course, he might test you and then if you did nothing that would be worse.  If it was me I would get all the parents together to figure out a solution.  Step son is playing all of you and needs parenting.  If you don't do this there is a chance it could turn out ok but, there is a chance you could have a step grandchild.[/quote]

Never make threats unless you're willing to follow through on them. And OP and the father are not willing to kick him out of the house. I wouldn't be willing either.[/quote]

Yup. I might want to throttle my kid, but I can't imagine throwing him out. Certainly not for these relatively minor infractions.
