Then, raging hormones kicked in and the ONLY thing he worries about is impressing girls - not in the right ways, apparently...  |

The whole Idea of sending him to military school is a good idea but as with my son I have been threating that for years.
OK this may sound odd, now that you are members of the club, start bringing him around. I mean Really around most so when My daughter is around. they are the same age & I can tell you that she will do one of two things when he trys this stuff with her, Either kick his a$$ (she is Martial arts trained) or ignore him. & with my son around to help, he can show your son how to impress the girls with out getting in to trouble. lol.
I know my son has his problems but one of his good qualities is that hes a leader & he loves to teach other people.
Also getting him around people who like some of our members will treat him as an equal may help as well.
I have never had a step child, but I was once one.(lets not go into that one lol)
try being a mother to him when hes around. you may not be able to spank the kids butt, but you can give him what for. I dont care what the courts say about step parents, But if you have a Firm hand on things & use that hand, then maybe not now but when he grows up, he would thank you for it.
