Just like his mother

I'm wondering how K can only see the bio mom once a year and still act just like her at times.

You know the type of person she is....who argues just to argue. You can tell her the sky is blue and just for the sake of being difficult she will say it's green. The rules don't apply to her. We can tell this by her lack of parenting and lack of child support payment.

It's not like we can call her to come get him either when he is driving us crazy. She will make up some excuse as to why she can't.

I know. I've tried.

When Kevin and I got married I would call her once a week to see if she wanted him that weekend.  I wanted to be that step mom that maybe could bridge the brokeness that poor little K has been presented in his short 3 years.  After a few weeks I guess she ran out of excuses though so she just stopped returning my calls.

I love the little guy but it seems that at 9 he is pubescent and wants to be out of control. He thinks my rules don't mean shit and refuses to do anything I ask.  This is my mind is not fair to his sister or the new baby that is on the way.  R is 5 and follows the rules better than he does. He's trying to teach her to lie to us to keep her from telling us when he is doing something wrong.

I don't know if it's the lack of his ADHD medicine while he's on summer break but I don't know what to do.

We started therapy last month. Hopefully this helps him deal with any issue he may have.
