Amber, i hope you don't get mad at me for saying this. I am just making an observation and I don't want to make any judgement on your family at all.
But so far you have said that he hates his dad, that dad works graveshift and sleeps during the day (not much time with the kids?) and that dad hits and yells for every little thing. I think instead of blaming grandma for spoiling her grandson which is perfectly normal for any grandma to do, that maybe he needs a little love and postive time from dad and work on that relationship. I don't want to pretend like I know anything, it was just a thought I had in my head while reading your posts.
On a side note...I am actually suprised by all the people recommending spanking. I truly believe that all you are teaching a child is that is ok to hit another person. I have never once spanked my kids. I just don't have it in me to hit anyone, much less a little person whose whole world is in this house with me. |
