"Hi good mornings guys. Love Parental Confidential. I messaged in when you guys were talking to the parent who was supplying her son and his friends with alcohol for his 18th birthday. Not a good idea on the moms part.I wanted to see if my situation was worthy enough to make it on air because I’m at a dead end with my 17 year old step son. I have been in the picture since he was 6 so in my mind I truly feel like he is my son.He is a good kid and he got a job this summer working at a car wash but the issue I am having is he just all together stopped listening to me. He refuses to clean his room when I ask him, He wont take out the trash, for the last week in a half he has had dirty plates in silverware in his room on the floor. I have asked him several times already to clean it up and he says “ill take care of it” and never does. His attitude with my has gone from a 1 to a ten what feels like overnight, and I cant understand why. I am not asking him for much and I never have. Anytime he has ever needed something from me im there, Whether it was money or advice or just my time in general I set everything aside for him and treat him like my own son. I feel like the older he gets the more he is treating me like garbage. His dad recently came back into the picture in the last couple years and hes not a good guy. Every time he goes to visit him he comes back more disobedient and has more of an attitude then when he left. I am ready to kick this kid out of the house but I know that wont solve anything. What makes it worse is my wife will constantly side with him even when he disrespects me. I am sick and tired of hearing the “ he is just a teenager line” That's her way of dismissing it along with me always looking like the bad guy. Any advice from any other parents would be super helpful. Thanks so much for your time guys. -Ben"
