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. |
Not offended at all
We are working on their relationship i have explained to my husband that he needs to be more involved and less angry. He is trying but there is much room for improvement. The reason my mom plays a big role is because for the first 3 years he was born we lived with her and it was very hard. But now she spoiles them rotten and lets him get away with everything which is frustrating. By no means is it anyone's fault but my own. I guess i need to be a little more sturn and maybe just be on top of it all more. It's hard with 2 they both have different needs but i am trying. They are cleaning the walls and base boards right now, They just finished picking up the house. I am going to keep them busy all day cleaning and maybe tomarrow they will think about being good to earn rewards. I have taken all toys and privledges (ie. Tv, games and outside time) away today. I think Trieden is getting the point but i will not give trust back so easily.
