I say terminate! I have had the same kid for nearly three years and it doesn't get any better. He has been loud, aggressive and controlling since the beginning. Plus many, many more annoying and gross habits, but I was new and desperate so I stuck it out against my better judgement! Everyday he is not at my home is a blessing for the other kids and myself. Count down is on until he is in school full time and I screen much harder now!! Good luck with your decision!
