So he isn't doing well in his ap classes and was a no show to work.  nonee of that is a big deal.  the stealing money from teh cash register is bad - but that si likely the product of dad's cheapness. i don't see mom as problem.  dad is problem.[/quote]

You don't see it as a problem? If you stole money and your mom is like "don't worry, we'll find you another job" and then she accused the people you stole from that they didn't look after her child and didn't inform her of him being late, missing shifts, etc.[/quote]

In terms of who is impacting the boy, na, likely the mom is not having the big negative impact you think she is. He was fired and experienced natural consequence and her hissy fit with the resturant owener is not taking that away.  I know you don't approve of her parenting.  And it doesn't sound ideal or healthy.  But outcomes are not as directly related to connected to parenting styles as you think.  The doing harm here is likely the parent who is chonically withholding approval and using money as power. It's imteresting that you have more crictism for the overinvolved mom than the truely toxic dad. . .[/quote]
