I would say it begins around 12 and ends around 25.

By the time you have a couple of kiddos, 2 divorces under your belt, bought and sold several homes, retired from one career, have a Master's degreee...
Yeah, it is time he quits blaming stepmom for his "issues." If you abuse your wife or anyone else it isn't SMs fault, it is a choice you make.
Char's step-adults are old enough to know they are being selfish arseholes. They sound like they know it, but choose to continue to do it.
Now, it is all about her reaction to their acting mean.

I agree that you start as early as possible. But I would not "expect" to see real success with that skill until 12ish.

We started holding SS responsible for his actions at around age 10 or 11...I mean, with regard to his feeling snotty about his mother and having a step mother...It took a while, but we were adament and would not sway...you wanna act like a brat? You'll get treated as one..no excuses for bad, disrespectful behavior...none...

---> I'm not sure how these activities relate to how one does or does not act/react; especially the buying and selling of homes.

Really?
If you are old enough to take on the responsibility of everything I listed, then you should be responsible enough to man up and hold yourself responsible (not SM) for your actions.
A grown person blaming SM for acting like an arse, is a pansy imo.
