My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and have lived together for 2. We now have a 5 month old. 6 months ago his 16 year old son came to live with us because of behavioral problems. Is it my responsibility to play mom?

You will never be his mom and at 16 he probably doesn't want you to be in that role.

I agree with everyone that if you love your boyfriend then you need to maintain a good relationship with his other children. He most especially needs people to care for him through his rough time. Having behavior problems makes it harder for everyone involved.

For the sake of your child and the realtionship that they as siblings will have you need to be a support system for his father and help when you are needed. If you have ill feeling towards him you will certainly transfer these to your own child and they will have a hard time bonding.

Remember that no matter what, he is a child and he needs the same amount of love that your biological child needs. Love him and be there when you are needed.

With all that said, it is his duty to be respectful and if this is breached stand your ground on it and make sure your boyfriend gives you the place in your family that you deserve.
