Children are part of the package that comes with single parents.
Sometimes it works out great, a lot of the time the kid(s), their parent and the new person can figure out a way to at least get along, and sometimes it just ain't gonna work.
I think most people would feel shitty for thinking that they're going to have to end a relationship because they can't at least tolerate the child of their new partner, but it's one of only two ways resolve of the situation. You can't expect your boyfriend to disown his son just to keep you happy, and in the end, you'd probably respect him a lot less than you do if he figured out some way to dump the kid on someone else.
The only other possibility is that you figure out how to change the way you perceive the kid and how you relate to him. Kids can be obnoxious little shits, but there's usually a reason why they're like that. Maybe it's due to poor parenting skills on the part of his parents. Maybe it's because his family background has left him feeling insecure. Maybe he's come to the conclusion that acting out is the only way he can get some attention.
A thoughtful, decent reply. Thank you. Seems like some people have issues from their own childhood and come on here to spew hate. Thanks for not being judgmental and for an honest opinion with suggestions instead of how some of these other people act.
