I guess I'm blessed...my step-teens are pretty respectful. Yeah, you get the occasional eye-roll which I call BS on. I credit their attitude to their Mom. She treats them with respect and will not tolerate anything less from them. At the first inkling they are getting surly, one eyebrow raises accompanied by "Excuse me?" in an inimitable tone. Amazingly, in the 5 years I've been with them (beginning at age 12(twins) & 13 1/2 (stepson)), I've never heard a voice raised in anger between any of them. The may argue but it is always in a controlled and respectful manner.
