My boyfriend's 11 year old son just to came to live with us full-time. Most of his life he has been living in poor neighborhoods or shuffled to other family members with a drug-addicted, neglectful mom. We have provided everything for him that he has not had - especially unconditional love and attention, help with schoolwork, fun activities etc. He does not know how to say please or thank you!! This mortifies me. We are working on improving in school with the help of teachers principal etc. But this attitude of just expecting everything and never being satisfied AGGHH. Not to mention he has been allowed to watch rated R movies - all kinds of horror, sex and violence and has developed some less than admirable role models (rappers like 50 cent) yikes. anyone have any ideas other than just allowing the new environment to change him??? thanks!
