  • buy a shiny new .45. ruin his new shoes while he's wearing them.
  • By trying to prevent it you may just cause your own child to want to hang out with and even emulate the so called problem child. Its probably best just to talk to your own kid(s) and tell him/her/them just what you dont want to emulate about that kid and why. Being honest can work sometimes I promise.
  • Maybe you could nail one of his feet to the floor????:)
  • Why don't you try an "adults night out" once a month or so. No kids just adults.
  • You don't. That child can have no influence on your kids that you can't counter-act and use as a learning experience. There is always going to be the "bad influence" lurking about waiting for your kids. Teach them, here and now, using the problem child as an example how to not do what the other guy is doing. Know too, the problem child is drawn to limits like a moth to the flame. Don't be shy about having expectations of this kid while in your home. Plainly his parents (who haven't stopped his visits) don't give a shit what this kid is up to. Do society a favor and bridge that gap.
  • Take your kids out daily. Thats what I had to do with mine, we went to the parks , out to the mall. Most of the time even the kids own parents don't want them in their face because they won't control them or decipline the lil brats. And I've also found it very useful to keep your front door shut & locked when your home & don't let the lil menance in. And tell your kids you will ground them if they let them in. Its not your kid, don't let it be your problem to deal with or just tell him your kids are grounded & they won't be having any friends over. They will take the hint sooner or later & jsut stick to it. Good luck. YOu've been to nice to them now its time to get a lil nasty & take a stand.
