That is if it's not already too late.
---->It might be to late, but I think the blame should set squarely on the bio parents. It's sad.

No, Leanne, I think you misunderstood me. YOU'VE done what YOU can do. Bio mom & bio dad should be more active in discipline, IMO. Or at least come up with some plan for intervention. I think a lot of the responsibility has been lobbed on to you.

I agree with PJ...he shouldn't be your responsibility...he is his Dad and his mother's responsibiity. Especially since he is a tough case. You should be able to act as an assistant :-) Those are my rules..and I'm sticking to them!

I agree...but it is much more difficult when the child lives with you and one of the parents doesn't give a crap about anything. The kids dad is responsible for making decisions, but LeAnne lives with that and shouldl be a part of the process, even if out of earshot of the child.

Yes I agree. If my kid were like that I certainly wouldn't be looking to my SO to make things better. And I'd understand if they were less than enthused about having him/her around. The bottom line is they're my responsibility. The unfortunate part is the child would have to be by first priority and it would likely be my SO that got short shrift. :-(

Since they don't speak, it's hard to come up with a plan together.
Remember they were together for 2 hours on a drunken bar night, nothing more, her tubes were tied remember?

She should ba A PART. NOT the Enforcer. She has basically been forced to lay down discipline for the child. Talk about a resentment builder! LOL!

Honestly? no. I don't remember that part of the story.
