if you dont think that she has manners or respect, teach her how you want her to act. show her that you are her step mom and you have the athority to tell her what to do and how to act. maybe she wont listen, but you need to show her that you do it for the best

As a mother-in-law, unfortunately you do not have the authority to actually enforce changes in her behaviour, however it is my experience that if you lead by example, and reward any efforts and improvements she makes, she may well change her ways.

Try to remember, she is your son's wife, and subsequently his problem. Manners are making a comeback in the "real world" and if your son is upwardly mobile, it will become necessary for her to change. Otherwise, as my grandmother taught me, manners are for people you do not like or do not know, so be extra polite to her.
