Hi

I am new to this site so not sure how it works. Any way I have a problem which I need advice on. I am recently married for the second time and my wife has just fallen pregnant for the first time. The pregnancy has been difficult to date (11 weeks) as there has been a lot of bleeding. Consequently Kathy has required a lot of support and nurturing.

My 2 boys from a previous relationship live with us (have done for 5 years). The eldest is 13 in grade 8. He is very good for his age, well mannered and polite. All our friends are envious of their behaviour. We all get on - there is no tension between us all.

My issue is that Timothy, the eldest is misbehaving at school. He has become disruptive and does not listen to instructions. I believe it is a subconcious reaction to the pregnancy of his step mum - ANY ADVICE OUT THERE? What can I do he used to be an A grade student - now he is D / C grade - all in a matter of 8 weeks.
