Hey Mommas! I need some help! My almost two year old is always hitting his dad's gf. He loves her but tends to get an attitude & ends up smacking her. Like today, she corrected him for saying "dammit" & my little man hit her. All rules are at the same at Mommy's & Daddys house so he's getting away with nothing. Any advice as to why he's hitting her & how to stop it? I'd really appreciate all the help I can get!
I think that until he learns that it's not OK and stops, there is nothing wrong with daddy's girlfriend disciplining him. If he feels she has no authority he will continue to act out against her. Then when he stops hitting her, she can dial it back and let daddy do most of the disciplining again. But they should be 50/50 when he is with them.
That's what I'm thinking! He's only at his dad's on the weekend & his dad keeps up with correcting him and reminding him & Bub does great with her, but only when he wants to. I think he's still getting used to the fact that Mommy and Daddy aren't together anymore & so his pushing boundaries to see what he can get away with. He does the same hitting thing here with me but it's not as frequent as it is with his Daddy. & We talk about it every weekend and try to figure things out but we're running out of ideas.
I feel like he knows she can't do anything to him so he's just acting out. It might just be a phase , make sure he knows that's not okay . I know he's still young so it'll be hard but try to remind him daily that it's not okay .
Oh & we usually redirect him after the correction but he still feels the need to hit her & we can't figure out why.
He was cooking. & We try to correct him on the spot. She's not allowed to do anymore disciplining other than correcting what he says.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Personally, I'm not okay with her disciplining him until all three of us sit down & lay out ground rules. His dad is the pretty much same way, but letting her discipline him more might be the answer. I'm just not comfortable with someone I barely know correcting my child. His relationship is fairly new yet & I still need to sit down with her and talk. Bub is my first child so I'm extremely picky about him and discipline and such.
