Hard times: first 14-year-old MACAULAY CULKIN hit "that awkward age"; now his parents are splitting up. Mother Patricia Brentrup has been granted temporary custody of six of the children she had with Kit Culkin.

This they manage with a cleverness that belies their alleged incompetence. But the boy steals the loot, and will give it back only if Ray will act the good father for a week -- you know, ball games, amusement parks, miniature...
