There is definitely a lot of family dysfuntion involved here. If the kid does this and the parents aren't addressing it, that kid's going to to be a pscho soon.
Ten, still sleeps in parents' bed, (not as often as the 7yo tho), had to have help to wipe after bowel movements because he "didnt like to do it" till 8 years old, tells his parents (and his uncle, my hubby) to "shut up".... the only time those kids are disciplined is if DH does it. Their mom will actually say "if you don't straighten out I'll call your uncle!" ....
Sounds exactly like my brothers stepdaughter. She would yell for her mother to come and wipe her and she was 10 years old. Her mother is always trying to come up with a medical diagnosis as to why her daughter is like she is. I told my brother all she needs is consistent discipline. The stepdaughter screams at her mother and will ask for something over and over again until mom finally gives in. I blame my brother for it to because he's given up and gives because its easier. All the other kids in the family cant stand to be around her, which I find sad. I dont let her pull the garbage at my house so needless to say they dont come to my house often.
