Lack of control as a parallel parent

Dear Anna:

​My stepson has ADHD and ODD so we have those diagnoses along with preteen issues. My husband and I have been really fighting lately because my stepson has really been challenging us. We parallel parent and are always having issues because his bad behavior that is allowed over there but not at our house. We tell him he’s old enough to know how to act but he chooses not to.

​Any recommendations on working through this?

Sincerely,

Powerless Parallel Parent
