[quote=Anonymous]OP, my STBX was probably just like your DS when he was a kid, but slightly less mean and he hid it better. When I think of the conversations I’ve had with my STBexMIL over the years, here are the things that I think would have helped DS: -chores and family obligations that cannot be escaped because “homework”. You can emphasize academics without it being absolving a kid of any other responsibility -don’t compliment achievement. Compliment effort and kindness to others. -force him to do something that doesn’t come easy for him and can’t be cheated. A manual labor job, an activity just for fun, etc -no special privileges during family time or obligations. Nothing that says his participation in regular life is optional or you consider him above drudgery. So he can’t bring his phone or a book to a family outing or dinner, etc. [/quote]
