>Say nothing and just hope he figures it out on his ownI had a similar experience, but they were weirdly helicopter-like. As in, they don't have the time to have a single bit of parenting but they do, to micromanage the dysfunctional kid's every afternoon and be greatly upset about how much of a maladapted sperg they are raising up.
