Being a parent comes with a whole lot of beautiful moments, but it also often means making compromises for the good of your offspring. Unfortunately, this at times can mean choosing between a partner and your own child.
Sometimes parents have to do what’s best for their children, at the cost of their relationship

Because the couple shares a child, just evicting the BF isn’t necessarily enough

Comments note that kicking out the BF is not a long-term solution, even if they break up. After all, they share a child and OP would need to get a court to create some sort of separation if they want to go that route. While the BF is responsible for Jake, as his child, OP’s decision is, ultimately, a result of Jake’s behavior. She can’t exactly kick out a child without kicking out his or her parents.
Jake understands that OP doesn’t like his actions, but seems to think it’s ok to ignore her

He needs to understand that this isn’t just some “weird” rule OP is “imposing” on him, but something that is actively bad for his sister. This is where the BF should have stepped up. Because, for one reason or another, Jake doesn’t seem to care too much when OP tells him what to do, only following her rules when she is around. So it’s only natural that he probably values his father’s rules more, so the BF really did need to do more.
The BF needs to get his priorities straight
