I feel like I'm my bf's "sometimes partner"! All my kids are grown and out of the house. All his are as well except for his 12 yr old son. This child 2 years in a row now has been in trouble in school the 1st month it started..he can lie in our faces, say derogatory things to little girls at school, and when he is suppose to be grounded, his father is not consistent about it...I told him he is a "lazy parent" and explained what that is. Recently his son was caught in that he stole his (adult) sisters phone and brought it to school and gave it to another student...after lying in his fathers face, both his sisters faces & mine. My bf didn't know that his daughter told me the school informed her they were given her phone & what happened, (the grand father of other student brought phone to school). Its been a wk and there has been NOTHING done about it..and my bf told his daughter not to tell me...yet I was good enough to go to his sons school as we had a team meeting already this year with his teachers due to his awful behavior & talking back...I don't know what to do any more.
