Boys disrespect for dad is
hard for girlfriend to take
DEAR ABBY: I am in a
loving relationship with a
kind and caring man,
“Byron.” He has a preteen
son, “Eli,” from a previous
relationship. Eli stays with us
several days a week, and I
watch him while Byron goes
to work. Byron and I would
like to spend the rest of our
lives together, but I’m uncer
tain if I can truly be a step
mother to his son.
Eli often yells at and hits
his dad. He calls his dad stu
pid, among other things. He
asks for expensive items
during every visit, often
refuses to bathe and won’t
eat anything other than fast
food or pizza. If Byron has
to say no to Eli because he
doesn’t have the money for
something, Eli throws a
temper tantrum worse than a
2-year-old.
I know the kid is capable
of better behavior because he
doesn’t behave this way with
his mother or grandmother.
Byron doesn’t discipline his
son at all, which allows his
rude and disrespectful
behavior to continue. I worry
about the boy’s future. How
will he hold a job if he acts
this way toward a boss?
I like Eli very much.
When he’s in a good mood,
he’s the kindest child I can
think of. But when his mood
turns, it’s like the dark side
takes over. I love Byron. I
would like to marry him. But
I don’t know if I can handle
watching Eli be so disre
spectful to his father.
Sometimes it makes me feel
like ending things. Please
advise me on what to do. —
HESITANT “STEPMOM”
DEAR “STEPMOM”: I
hope you realize that Eli
behaves the way he does
because his father allows it.
Byron may do this because
he feels guilty about the
divorce and is afraid his son
will “hate” him if he asserts
himself. Your gentleman
friend really needs to take
some parenting classes
because his failure to act
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
isn’t good for Eli. Please
suggest it.

DEAR ABBY: I’m sur
prised by how many people
choose not to use head
phones while talking on the
phone, listening to music or
watching videos in public
places. Instead, they use the
speaker option or their
Bluetooth speakers for all to
hear.
I travel frequently. It’s bad
enough to suffer through
one side of the conversation,
but hearing both is worse
(and these folks talk at top
volume and make no
attempt to step out of ear
shot). Lately, I have also
noticed people watching
videos in restaurants.
At my apartment’s pool,
several neighbors do the
same thing. Sometimes the
music includes offensive lan
guage, which I find inappro
priate at a family pool. I’m
tempted to start competing
with them with random vid
eos and music, but I know
that’s wrong. Is there a rea
sonable way to handle these
folks? —BLASTED OUT
IN ARIZONA
DEAR BLASTED: If you
are in a restaurant, ask the
manager to move you to a
quieter table. If you are both
ered at your apartment
swimming pool, take your
complaint to the manager of
the complex so a sign can be
posted asking tenants to keep
the volume low on their
devices or wear headphones.
It’s worth a try. Do not make
the mistake of confronting
them yourself.
RS. Consider putting on
headphones and listening to
something of your choosing.
It will drown out what you
don’t want to hear.
