[QUOTE="ksm, post: 691573, member: 12511"] King rose... It must be hard to live in that chaos. Has he started kindergarten yet? Does he go to any preschool or day care where other adults have some responsibility for him? I am sure a kindergarten teacher will see some red flags and talk to the parents about some areas he needs work with. I know it is hard, but maybe if you engage the older teens in a simple board or card game, he might see that you are having fun together and want to join in. I know, not as exciting as video games... But maybe if you really act out how great a time you are having, bphe will be intrigued. If he is being a real pain, and the parents aren't doing their job, I would pick up the dog, go to my room or a different area of the house and try to ignore. Hopefully the parents will step up. Try to encourage the teen siblings and maybe get them out of the house, if only to walk the mall, or get books from the library. You are trying to look out for everyone, but you are in a difficult place, as you have no authority. Is there a reason they don't have their own home? Will they be moving on soon? Is this a child with a second husband and the older teens are feeling left out? Good luck. KSM [/QUOTE]
