[quote=Anonymous]I think the teen resents having to depend on a stepparent that he dislikes. This happens in my family-- my mom will have her loser boyfriend make dinner or something when we visit, and then she'll be all "Isn't he SO NICE to you? Aren't you GRATEFUL?" But I'm not grateful, because I never asked for it and I would be happier not having it and not having the pressure to perform gratitude. It's sort of a coerced transaction. I think OP should ask her stepson very seriously if he prefers not to do one or both of these activities, and be at peace with any answer. If he would Uber without you, why can't he Uber now? Seems like a good way to avoid this issue. With teens you have to pick your battles and it sounds like OP is focused on this minor issue because she doesn't want to acknowledge the big picture problem.[/quote]
