He is five years old and is driving the wife and I insane. Actually, being an actual European, the wife seems to have a higher level of ability to tolerate lesser types than most. However, I admit to being at my wits end.
Amir wakes up late this morning, then proceeds to spill orange juice onto the tile floor! Fine accidents happen, even though they seem to happen more with this person. He then spent the next five minutes rattling on and on and on about some Spider Man movie. What the ****?
My 8 year old daughter is already studying Chinese at level 2, while teaching females 3 times her age about dignity and courage!
I know there is an age gap, but this is reggoddamndiculous!
So, my querie to the dear readers on this Y/A board is where to send off such a truculent tyke for the summer? Is there some sort of military camp we can just get 2 months of peace and quite from sending him too?
Don't even get me started on the uneven coloring he will do 38 % of the time. (I have checked and ran a report on my excel program to chart his progress.....not good....not good.)

I would offer to bring him with me on some of my travels, but he'd be even more out place out on the vessel. I'll be back within the month, for a time, but I think I'm off again to Indonesia. He'd probably benefit from the change, but I really am busy when working, and wouldn't be able to give him the attention he requires...and the crew- well let's just say that they are enjoyable, but not a good fit for Amir; he really needs a safe place.
You could look into outward bound programs, or maybe ask my wife...she gets lonely at times, but you know how he gets around my kids! I promise to discuss it when I return.
Best to you...he's a good kid at heart...has good stock, give him time.
Peace- Amen

How about getting some counciling for yourself or, as you mentioned in a previous post, give him to a home with a more loving family.
