More stories about my dick step-nephew

[momnteach]

In case you didn't read my first post, my stepsister and her kids are in town visiting her dad (my stepdad). They live on the other side of the country so we are not close. Step-nephew is 14 and a big jerk. So my grandma is 95 and lives at my moms's. She has a raised seat thing over the toilet because she has great difficulty getting up and down. It has to stay in the hall bathroom because it will not fit in the master bathroom. There are no other options and we all just use the master bathroom. So the kid went into her bathroom and moved her seat to use the toilet. No big deal but he didn't put it back. It's like he intentionally is being a shit. My grandma can't move it back. Then on top of that he also clogged her toilet and just left it. It was obvious just looking at the toilet that he clogged it and I'm 100% certain that he knew. Fuck, just tell someone or better yet, ask for a plunger and fix it yourself. Do not leave it for my 95 year old grandma to come upon. He also was sneaking my rock stars that my mom stocks for me in her garage fridge. I found an empty one hidden that he had apparently been going out in the garage to drink. And I'm pretty sure he did something to the cats. They are all freaked out and won't go into their room which is the room he's staying in. Lastly, his mom asked him to help clean up after dinner last night. At first he just stared at her and then he put away the ketchup and sat down. I'm not close enough to these people to say anything like I would if it were one of my nieces. I am so glad they are leaving soon. Oh and my SS was showing me some pictures on her computer. She was scrolling through a file and clicking on random pics to make them bigger to show me. So in this file, there were pictures of her husband naked in the bath with one of the kids! WTF. They were small so I couldn't see any details but you could totally tell he was naked and she kept just scrolling through like it was no big deal. Really, I don't want to see naked pictures of your husband! Sorry this got so long!

Honestly he sounds like a 14 year old boy. Perhaps one that needs a good disciplinarian, but also just your average self-centered teen boy.

[melindafelinda]

Leave the kid alone. Jesus.

[hubes]

I'm hoping you teach kindergarteners or something. You wouldn't last 30 second with a junior high boy.

[momnteach]

I really can't be the only one to think it's rude to clog a 95 year olds toilet and not say anything to your own mom at least. I'm familiar with how teenagers act but this is a whole new level of disrespect.

[hubes]

Rude? Of course. Rude enough that a grown woman should walk around calling a child a dick? No.

[Dezi]

Yes, it's rude but considering his age, not suprising. It sounds as though you have some pre-exisiting animosity against step-sister that you're transferring to him.

[Deleted]

It is rude, no doubt. When I read your title I thought this was going to be about a grown man.

He's in junior high, if clogging a toilet and drinking energy drinks is the worst things he is doing, he's doing pretty good. I'm not exactly sure those are dick moves, more like absent-minded teenager who needs a little discipline kind of moves.

If he's starting fires or hurting small animals - or if he's starting fires WITH small animals, come back and post an update.

They're not even energy drinks that you bought, they're ones that your mom bought for you. Are you sure he didn't ask her before taking one? I agree with everyone else, and when he does stuff just nicely talk to him about it. "Hey, it's no big deal at all if you use this bathroom, but you do need to put the raised toilet seat back for grandma" Although I would personally let him have the energy drink, it's a drink FFS.

[momnteach]

This was just a vent. Yes, I know teenagers act this way. Some of the things I thought were funny (like the rock star sneaking) and some I thought were rude. That's all.

[melindafelinda]

He's on his own message board complaining about his uptight bitch step-aunt that walks around with a little notebook marking down his every move.

[mishap]

Maybe he was embarassed that he clogged the toilet at someone's house. I know I would be.

[sb]

It's also possible that he was REALLY embarrassed about clogging the toilet. Remember being 14? Did you want anyone to know you had taken a shit big enough to clog a toilet?

[flex]

He'll be gone soon. Don't let him rent space in your head.

[pedanticwench]

How do any of these things make him a dick? Annoying maybe, but a dick? I just don't see it.

He's having to stay in a room with the cats? That sucks. Give him a break and let him drink some of your crappy energy drinks.

[emjacobs]

Is it at all possible that he is just a normal teenage boy that really doesn't care to socialize or befriend older family members that he won't see again for a few years?

Clogged toilet: No way in hell would I have gone seeking a plunger or telling my family about clogging the toilet. Don't blame him either.

The cats are avoiding his / their room: Maybe they don't like trying to sleep around a stinky boy.

Missing Monsters: Really??? Really? They are energy drinks that you didn't even buy. Just let the kid drink them. You shouldn't be drinking that crap anyway.

My niece and nephew went through this stage. Its called adolescence. Some suck more than others. Just ignore him, he'll be gone soon.

[Cricket0619]

He sounds like an average teenage boy. ^o)

[bonquiqui]

I haven't even read this, but each time I see this, I read it as "More stories about my dick"

That is all

teenagers are self centered assholes. even the really well behaved ones have their moments.

I think you need some wine. and a
Valium. maybe not in that order.

I was about to offer to mail one of my Xanax! Really, OP, this is what teenage boys do. Clogged toilet? Yeah, he probably knew he clogged Gramma's toilet, but he didn't say anything because, well, he clogged Gramma's toilet! He was mortified. And he didn't put the seat back because that would require effort, and forethought, and consideration for someone else's situation, something teenage boys are not exactly known for. Energy drink? He assumed that they were put there for his convenience and benefit, as he is the center of the universe. Why wouldn't he drink it? Cats freaked out? I bet he didn't do a thing to the cats. The cats are freaked out because there's a smelly, loud teenager sleeping in their room (cats also have this "center of the universe" syndrome thing going on, too.

Pick your battles, though. Sure, mention the toilet seat if it happens again (it will) but pick your battles.

[Jalapeñomel]

This did not go the way you thought it would, did it?

[partiallysunny]

The only issue I see is the inconsideration to grandma, but that could easily be solved by someone talking to the boy.

You have to remember he acts like this because he can. It's his parents fault they let him get away with being an inconsiderate, smart ass teenage boy. You should redirect your judgement and anger where it belongs.

[kaybee85]

The helping clean up after dinner thing would make me raise an eyebrow at his mom.

[iamgrace]

kevin arnold- I am dying. Omg. As for the rest, the kid isn't the dick in this situation.

[ralphlauren]

You sound super uptight. I am LOL that you were pissed that he drank your energy drinks. He is 14. They do stuff like that.

[kellbell191]

It makes me worried for you that you are spending so much time and energy being worked up over this. Either you need a hobby or you need to deal with whatever residual hang ups you have over the blended family situation.
