Am I getting paid?

Today you learned to always negotiate pay before you do the work.

I was raised to not do that stuff with family. I remember when I was younger, my parents told me asking that asking about how much I'll get paid is considered rude. I wouldn't do this with anyone who wasn't family.

This. My grand grandfather taught me this lesson by telling me he'd pay me to collect a bunch of stones from a field because he wanted to build a rock wall in his garden. I filled 2 truck beds with rocks. He paid me a nickel and told me next time negotiate.

My grandpa always pays me well whenever I help him with work

It's ok, I later charged him $100 for a ride to the hardware store and we joked about those stories for years.

Don't expect your step dad to act like your real dad. Something deep in him, biologically, is telling him to love you because he loves your mom. Not because you are his son.
You're not getting paid and he's going to eventually kick u out

I know he doesn't love me. I don't really like him either. Also, I'm only 18, I have at least a few more years.
