I have 5 kids ages 13-11-10-6-4 They say yes Ma'am they answer the phone with. One of two greetings the 3 older kids are, This is the @@@@@ residence. ______ Speaking, how can I help you? The two younger, _____ speaking one moment I'll get my Mommy.
They are gentle and kind. They hold our tiny girls gently and watch out for them. My 4yo baby holds our 4lb yorkie and croons to her, your my pretty girl.
It would break my heart if they were ever unkind to something so helpless as an animal of any kind let alone a tiny yorkie. I would have failed in a huge way. |
I totally agree! A child learns what he/she is taught. And they also need to know that there will be consequences for their actions, be it good or bad. And if he isn't allowed to your house for a while, he needs to know and understand that is his consequence. Your brother and sister in law have failed with this child, as a lot of parents are now adays, believing that the kid is good no matter what. They are not held accountable anymore.
I am so glad your baby is ok, and you should be very proud of your son, for sticking up for himself, and your dog. What a good guy he is.
