[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  thank you all for your responses.  I spoke with his OT therapist and happen to have with her boss before and she had a meeting with me.  They say the same thing as you all and she suggested some things I can do.  she also said that the parents rather look for an excuse or quick fix for him instead of realizing that they are the ones with the issues.  She gave me contact info for a therapist for PARENTS that will help guide them and see that their guilt for working and not spending enough time with him should not override discipline.  She also suggested I have an short activity available for him to do with his mom or dad when they first come home so that he gets their attention.  There have been days where he will hide my belongings or throw them and block the front door to keep me from going home.  Hopefully this combined with me speaking up and giving a subtle warning to  them will help and make them stop this mess.

They are willing to do anything but see that it starts with them.  He won't even go to bed for them until close to 10 at night and will continue to get up during the night and fight through sleep despite his tiredness and multiple doses of melatonin.  Ive babysat for them in the evening before and he went to bed just fine and takes naps for me fine everyday.  At first I thought he only napped because he lacked sleep in the evening but nope, he won't nap for them when Im off or on the weekends either.  Now they have had a sleep study done on him where they hooked him up to machines etc and tubed his nose!  what were they thinking?  like he would actually be able to rest during that?  The mom is now saying the neurologist says he has sleep apnea and still no diagnosis has actually been given to him but just more labels.  He even sleeps for the grandparents who have refused to watch him anymore[/quote]
