My son has made friends with this young lad. He is a lovely young lad, polite, well mannered, very helpful, respectful and honest (an incident with a neighbour confirmed this).
We live in a 2 bed house. There are 5 of us and it's very cramped but we are due to move soon into a 3 bed house. The young lad is staying for dinner today and staying the night, he has stayed the night a few times and I like having him around.
When we move i'd like him to stay weekends and in the holidays , my son would love this. There are a few reasons for this :-
My son says he gets beaten by his parents and sisters. There has been trouble at their house and the police have been called on a few occasions, they are in the process of being evicted. They constantly scream at the children. I have met them though and they are very nice people, if they tone it down a bit
I hate that he has to go back home there .
My OH is having absolutely none of it and when we move wants the house done up how we want it for his family, he won't entertain this boy coming to stay for long periods as he sees it as none of our business.
I don't know what to do. I'd have him not go home tonight if it were up to me
