» dparrish24 - disrespected child

I have 3 children and my bf has 2 all are boys. We moved in with them back in June. My middle son who is 11 is so disrespectful, cheats, lies, steals, lazy. My bf goes out of his way to do things with all the kids but my son just is rude to him. His father has been in and out of his life. He last saw his dad back in December and since then things have gotten worse. My bf has been living alone with his kids for 4 yr and has had things in order the way he likes it and has tried to make this work but it has come to the point where he is so stressed out at times he doesnt even want to come home from work. I have tried everything i can think of to get my son to obey the rules. One day I kind of bribed him...if he could follow the rules and big respectful for 5 days I would give him $100...I know it wasnt the right thing to do...but he did it and I gave him the money. I cant keep doing that.
But I need to do something soon or it will ruin our relationship. All my past bfs use to be really mean to my children and this man is great to them. So y do this?
If anyone has any advice please let me know

It sounds to me like your son is not happy with the situation. Your first responsibility until he is 18 is to him. Get him some professional help and find out what you can do to make him feel more secure in his relationship with you.
