I have a dilemma...I just moved in with my roommate who is a 37 year old single mom of 3 children ages 17, 9 and 2. I have 1 son that is 7 and my parenting style is much different from hers because I make sure my son does not disrespect grown people. She doesn't believe in discipline and it shows. Then she is always out chasing after a man, drinking and partying so she leaves the 17 year old at home all the time with the younger ones. She tries to be friends with her kids instead of being a parent and lets them do things like watch violent movies,lets them listen to and chime in on adult converstations, lets them talk back to her etc. Then her 2 year old is always crying and throwing things. Yesterday he threw a metal hot wheels car and threw it at my son's head. My son doesn't really like to be around the 2 year old because he is so unruly and is always trying to hurt him. I told her about the incident and she just laughed it off and said well I didn't see him. I have to stay here a year because I am on the lease but this is driving me crazy. I don't want to cause friction in the house...any ideas?
