My mom & step-dad decided to take in his 15 year old grandson that was having problems at home. I'll make a long story short. The kid took advantage of them. Wouldn't do anything. They added him to their cell phone account and had a $300.00 bill because of him. They bought him a $350.00 dog. They just couldn't draw the line between parent & grandparent. They really tried though. He started school two weeks ago and in two weeks...he missed 15 classes. Got a big attitude. So they said they had enough. I mean they are in their 60's, both working and my step-dad's 39 year old son is also living with them and not paying rent. So they took him back to his parents. He called up my step dad and cussed him out and called him names. He also walked up to his 13 year old brother...said "Golden Boy" and punched him...now this kids parents are mad at my parents....why should they be mad at them...they tried...

I would not have been ableto handle the kidat
all. he sounds like bad news and your mom and
step dad did their best to help him. he sounds like
a real brat and then tohit his thirteen year old
brother thats really something. that boy needs some
mental help; he sou nds really like he needs a counselors
'care. His parents are to blame for a lot of his
problems. they need to take a good look at their
bratty son.

This kid doesn't seem to have a good personality. I guess that he must have been spoiled by his parents. What's more, it is their duty to take care of the boy since he is their boy...

Nowadays, you really can't take in anyone or help anyone because they just end up taking too much advantage of you and trying to blame you for it whenever you get tired of it and decide that enough is enough. Your mom and step dad obviously cared a lot, enough to take this kid in and try to give him a good life, and that kid should be thankful for it. If he can't act respectful and thankful for the type of life he's been given, then he doesn't deserve that type of life.
