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. |
edit: I didn't see the post above, how wonderful.
I especially like yours and Chattiemom's advise and I was about to post something about Dad also. I have one thing I might add that I did every night and it brought me and my children so close was to read to them in bed every night. Some days I did have to send them to their room or take a toy away and they would be upset but they knew at the end of the day that I loved them no matter what the day was like and we were ready for tomorrow.
