Let me just explain something here.
I do not need a reason to tell my child no they can't do something. My child. At a young age they don't need an explanation that they won't understand.
Like, no you can't play with your electric car because your younger sibling is in the pool and I can't watch you both.
It's, no cause I'm the adult and I said so. Simple as that.
Also, the tantrums. Hell no. This 4 year old child DID NOT just tell me I need to apologize for saying no to her....
My son's half siblings are son fanned spoiled. Their mom wants to be their friend not a parent.
These kids hit each other, bruises and black eyes constantly! Even cuts! They barely eat anything healthy, it's constant candy and junk food. And you wonder why they are constantly sick!!!
I don't even let my son around them at all unless I'm there especially near water.
The 3 year old is constantly shoving him hitting him and most recently attempting to drown him!!! Laughing!! And his mom and my son's dad just laugh as they watch!! Saying it's just a game!!!
I can't wait to move north..... away from him
