[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 461597, member: 3419"] [I]While he may not intentionally harm the child, he is not responsible. [/I] Ditto this. Plus, if something did happen, irresponsible as he is, he would feel horrid for the rest of his life and that's too much to saddle him with. He's got enough going on just to take care of himself. Since insane mentioned that ODD is just a placeholder, maybe you can get some clues as to the underlying issue. Has he always been very hyper? Is he ultra-sensitive to any noises, lights, or types of touch? Or water? Does he fly off the handle for no good reason? Or do certain things send him into orbit, say, if you take away his computer, or repeat yourself too many times? IOW, ifyou tell him to do the dishes 5X, instead of snapping back at you, does he shove you against the wall? Does he have a girlfriend? Is he hypersexual? Does he thrive on adrenaline? Does he do well in school? In regard to a babysitter, you've got to get someone in there for your mental health as well as your daughter's well-being. She needs stimulation and education, not just a floating bubble to keep her in place until you get home. She is a real person. I would not leave it to your mother unless it is an emergency. She's got enough going on with-her Parkinson's and with-being a widow. Call a church, school, someplace (or do a Google search of your area) to find volunteers or low-cost sitters. It is worth an hr of your time to set it in place. I hear you about the probation and police issue. There are no teeth in manylaws, and the courts are overcrowded. How does he steal the car, by the way? Where do you keep the keys? I'd be sleeping with-the keys. Or can he hotwire the car? Sorry ... so many questions. [/QUOTE]
