My BF and I joke around in a way that is R rated. We are both adults, we both joke with each other like this.. My BF's 12 yr old son has been disrespectful to me, saying things that my BF would say, etc.My BF explained, "Debra and I are adults we can say that, you are a child, you may not say stuff like that" The kid dosent understand that he does not have the same privledges as an adult(he is learning disabled and has other problems) I never joked like that in front of him, and suggested to my BF that he stop.He said "I wont shelter him, he just has to learn he cant do everything I do at his age". I said"you wil purposely say things that you know he will say to me, and then I will get upset with him? Why dont we just prevent that??" BF said"I dont want to shelter him!" I said"Ok dont shelter him, but dont do things with him at MY expense. I cant be the guniea pig" Bf said"You dont know how to handle kids!!" and walked away. The 12 yr old is allowed to watch R rated movies, games etc
