That will keep me worry free from him moving her crate around even if he can't get her out (not sure that he would but he's been known to do some weird stuff).
I called him "the kid" because he has been giving me greif lately (the past 4.5 years)when it comes to minding. I do love him and wish I could figure something out to help our relationship (trust me, I've tried) but he sure is the most difficult child I've been around. He is not my husbands son biologically but he knows no other dad. Therefore, disciplining is something I do, but then my husband and I fight about it. I don't have this problem with our other 3 children (2 are his and 1 is mine, they are all teenagers). I talked it over with my hsuband about how fragile this puppy would be if we got her and that I needed him to help keep her safe and he seemed on board, so I didn't think this would be the issue that it is now ;( Kids are kids and they need correction, but I think my hsuband feels sorry for the youngest because he is so difficult. Not sure, but I feel like he is making matters worse. We've discussed the childs behavior numerous times but it always ends in a deffensive argument (my husband always has to be right..ugh). But not this time, not when it comes to my baby girls safety!!! Thank you everyone for the suggestions! |
Oh my goodness, you poor lady
And the little boy isn't even your husband's biological son? He sounds like a good man in that respect but, as you're well aware, everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn-sheet here.
To tell you the truth, I think personally the dynamics of your family is the worst case scenario to bring a tiny baby into. Please don't hate me for saying this, but it seems the only unconditional love that you're receiving is from baby Mia - and that's not fair on
anybody. Good luck. Sally + Harry x
