SS8 hates school... He was diagnosed as ODD/ADD in kindergarten and it has been a struggle. He lives with me and DH most of the year with BM getting lots of visitation. When he's there it's an overload of gifts etc.
teachers have noted he is difficult to work with after a visit with his mom, and he is very spoiled. His mom has admitted that she gives him too much, which should be obvious to her since his first words to her are almost always about her using him something...
