[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 261571, member: 84"] I know with the way the family is treating difficult child right now that it appears he's going have it made where he is. But somehow I doubt it. Eventually, someone is going to ask something of him and difficult child isn't going to cooperate......and then the honeymoon phase will end. They will see difficult child's true colors. I can say this because my brother took my nephew in thinking he could make things all "better" with him where my sister had failed miserably. It went well for a couple of months. Some minor things.....but since my brother was still in his 20's and had no experience raising a teen.....he never thought much about it. Then wham! Brother began to ask nephew to do some ordinary things (no big deal) and got the Mr Hyde side of nephew. Next thing he knew nephew brought friends home, robbed the house, robbed the pawn shop they owned, stole his new truck and trashed it. Changed brother's opinion of sister rather abruptly. As far as difficult child's antics at school.......let nature take it's course. It's usually the best way to handle it at this age anyway. It will catch up to bite him in the arse eventually. I know it's hard to wait for all this to happen........But try not to worry. At the moment he wants for nothing. So go ahead and get on with your life and enjoy the peace while you have it.
