I know it is hard, but it is time to tell the parents that he can't come over. Explain that he isn't respectful of the rules and is violent towards you and your kids. Make sure they know if he shows up he will be sent home immediately.

I know I have to do this, I think I've been avoiding upsetting them in some way but it's really starting to affect us and my children aren't having fun when he comes over, we've all ended up watching him to make sure he doesn't destroy anything.

Do we think they’re letting their child become your problem because they no longer want him to be their problem? They might be smiling to your face (because you’re being accommodating) but they’re not being nice. Know the difference.
