Make sure you let him know each time he steps out of line its unacceptable. My daughter tried this behavior and she didn't like standing in the bathroom brushing her teeth with soap.
Good Luck

5 year old are hard because they pick up everything and are trying to find how far they can push now, especially since we go to school. You can sit down with your step daughter and her parent and discuss a plan on how to make this better. What words are right to say and what are not. Make the rules of the house and have them both follow them. Remind him who signed his birth certificate and that he can be put into time out and put him there. Keep on him and stay consistant. This will pass too. Good luck, remember no matter what lots of love and be understanding. Happy holidays.

Time outs in his bedroom with NO TV, no games , no toys . . . Explain why you and your son will not be smart mouth people then have him take the time outs and think about it (at least 1/2 hr with increasing time if it continues, just like real life, each time you commit a crime, your sentence increases !)
And your husband should have a serious game plan for correcting the step daughter, but regardless, you and your son will not be nasty people.

You need to discipline the step daughter in front of your son. Teach him that there a consequences for his behaviour and her's as well. Remove his favourite toy from him every time he offends you. Time outs help.

timeout works wonderful, make sure you explain to him why he is being put in it though also explain that that kind of behavior is not tolerated and you need to check your step daughter about her behavior as well

Have you ever tried the 123 magic book? It is wonderful for that age bracket.
