before I met my SO he had already had a two year old at the time , a little boy . things were going good , I finally met him & well ... He's a spoiled brat ! He whined for every lil thing , & didn't want me around his dad . I got use to it though , & helped my SO with whatever I could do . I give that lil boy everything if I have it because I'm currently ttc & I treat him as if hes my own ! He's three now , I've been with my SO for a year now . he knows I'm not his mom of course , but he has NO RESPECT FOR ME ! I tell him something , such as " don't do that , before you hurt yourself " & he'll say " No " & whatever else he feel like saying , but this particular day , after I told him something he said " leave me alone " numerous times & yes I'll admit that got to me because I care about the little boy , & do so much for him . he knows right from wrong , & what he is doing . am I wrong from falling back with doing so much for him ? he needs to learn to appreciate me . I cook , clean , buy him things , watch him when his dad leaves & etc .
