My mom's been with this guy for something like 7 or 8 years now. At first he was OK, he lived somewhere else and I only saw him once in a while and was happy to not have to learn to like him or deal with him whether he was nice or not.
Then he moved in, which was OK for a while. But as I've gotten older he started showing his "this kid is 18 now tell him to get out and find a job" side to both me and my mom. My mom has told me multiple times she wants to continue to support me financially until my farrier thing takes off and I can pay for my own apartment and stuff. It seems like her boyfriend is trying to get in the way of that.
It's one thing if I just dropped out of high school and sat around 24/7. However... I had a job working regularly at a horse farm when I wasn't in school, and now I've been in farrier school and I'm trying to line up an apprenticeship. He has no reason to be a jerk, I'm not going and asking my mom for $400 every week then going and spending it on beer or video games or crap like that. I'm spending a minimal amount of money on food, clothes, and gas.
Not sure where I was going with this, but yeah. Anyone else have a jerk step parent or someone your parent is dating?
