They wouldn't last a fucking week.
I'm tempted though, really sorely tempted.

Sorry to whinge on and stuff, btw.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

if the grandparents will have them, I'd do it
I don't have kids, but I know my dad, and if I did that, they'd be begging to come back before the weekend.

They think they have equal say on how he's brought up, though.
Yet are completely unwilling to take any responsibility for their complicity in his actions.

Any good points he has are intrinsic, yet any shittiness is down to us.

I would fucking love to.
Swipey's bash is going to be a test of nerve. We'll be taking SJ's key from him, delivering him to his grandparent's, and taking their's from them as well because we can't trust them not to let him have access to the house.

That'll go down like a turd in a swimming pool.

don't blame you at all though
must be hard having to deal with the grandparents and their attitude, but you are definitely going the right way about it

Fanny + sew + shut.
Remember that, Vippers.

but they're not the fucking parents are they?
I obviously don't know the whole story.
But, if you know the kid(s) are safe, and the grandparents will have them, send them off. It'll relieve some stress off you both.

Try telling them that.
Like I say they think they have equal say, even when we try and point out that we need to be consistent and supportive of each other.

I'm getting angry now, I think I'll go and mash my head with a hammer to relieve the fucking tension. I can't wait until I finish work, one less pile of shite to deal with.

It sounds harsh
but since you seem to be going through a rough period with him, maybe scale back the interaction with the grandparents for a couple of weeks

That would be an idea
but short of tying him to his bed, I can't see that working.

this makes me so mad
and I don't even know them
I'm sorry you have to deal with that, but if it continues you'll probably have to keep them away
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 20:52, Reply)

I've met them and they're lovely.
They just love their only grandchild and I think, don't fully understand the implications of his mental state and the need for firm and consistent handling of him.

Am I right DG?

I think you've hit the nail on the head, there.
Plus a bit of overcompensating. *taps nose*

I didn't say they weren't, I don't know them.
But they're not his parents.

There is this as well.
I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!!!

If they're undermining you and your wifey then you need to keep them away or at least talk to them until they understand what they're doing is hurting your family.

They only live a ten minute walk away though
and it's on the way to his school. Try telling him not to call in for a fag on his way there or back.
