Heres the thing i really get on very well with my 12 year old stepson. Occasionally though because i am at the moment living in his mums house not mine he will say the tv is his its his house and a couple of times tell me to f off which is upsetting. He sometimes apologises but not all the time, just dont know how far i can got disipline wise with him without upsetting his mum.

Just remember that you are in "his" home the home that was his before you moved in, before you came into the picture. He was the man of the house he had his mother to him self and now there is this person whom he has to share his most valuable thing (his mother) and he wants to take up a role he is not ready to fill. If you try to discipline him you might end up doing more harm than good, so talk to your partner about it I am sure she knows her son and can tell you about her sons changes and you can both come to some sort of solution to this.

Thats the whole point he is fine at your house (your house your kingdom, your rules) he feel the same way at his home. He feel you can set your rules at your home but not his.
