My 11 1/2 yr. old step son just came to live with us 6 weeks ago. My husband's ex-wife got tired of dealing with his behavior and told my husband it was his turn. We have had problems with my stepson stealing, both food(snacks, candy, cokes, etc.) and money(the latest was $20.00 from me). He seems to show no remorse or shame, only anger that he got caught. He has a bad habit of contantly asking "Can I have this, Can I have that?" or "Can you buy me this, Can you buy me that?" I know that he is probably just trying to see what he can get out of us, but it is real aggrivating. My husbands ex-wife kept my husband out of his kids lives for about 4 yrs. He fought her for a long time, but eventually gave up when he saw he was getting no where with her and didn't have the finances to keep fighting her. My stepson thinks it was because he was a bad kid. He doesnt want to see the councelor that we are taking him to. Says it is not going to help and that he doesn't need any help.
