Just needing to RANT AND RAVE!!

I know that now days, teens think that they know it all.  Just like we all did when we were teenagers. This is not directed at all teens, just some in general that have NO respect for anything or anyone.  Not all teens are like this, just a few.  One of them that is in the NO respect category would be my step son.  His Dad and I did not raise him to be rude and disrespectful to people. He was raised to respect his elders and use his manners. He thinks now that he is 19 that he is a "man" and does not have to respect anyone.  He tears his car up and thinks that it is still his Dads responsiblilty to have it fixed. He thinks everyone owes him something.  His Dad lets him walk all over him and treat him like dirt.  The only time he treats his Dad halfway good is when he wants something.  His Dad lets it happen repeatedly and does not understand why his son is the way he is. He enables him to do whatever he wants. Then complains when he treats him badly.  I am sorry but if you allow your child to walk all over you and not put your foot down about how they treat you, then it is your own fault that they are the way they are! Just saying!  We have a 3 year old son that is watching his older brother treat people like this and at times he thinks it is ok too to act like that.  Needless to say, I have nipt that in the bud.  I was raised to respect my elders and most definelty my parents.  I was taught that you treat people with respect and you will get it in return. You also take care of you belongings and do not expect your Dad or Mom to run and jump at your beckon call when you have torn up you car, etc.  All I know that if my husband doesn't put a stop to his son treating people this way that he is going to end up in a lot of trouble. Thanks for listening!
