So dex is going through this phase.... he’ll bite or he’ll hit or something he knows he shouldn’t do... we tell him no. I will even spank his butt once too... not very hard (Please no judging on this) but this only encourages him to do it more. He’ll cry and be upset but will continue to do it. Anyone else deal with this or knows another way to get him to listen? I hate feeling like I’m constantly telling him no.
If you want to spank your child that’s completely up to you don’t let anyone make you feel bad about doing it either! Remedy has been doing the same thing not a lot tho! honestly when she does it I tell her “No hitting” “not nice give hug and kisses.” She give me or whoever a hug. It seemed to work really well for her.
It definitely comes with the age! I’m trying really hard with Lilly. She also likes to take toys. I think they just aren’t good at expressing their feelings yet.
@mhbb3, Very well said!
I would definitely try the reward system and positive parenting as well! Works pretty good for us. However I’d be lying if I said he didn’t have these mischievous moods sometimes. But I find with good sleep/nap and a full belly, he snaps out of it quick. This is definitely a tough age for these little ones! Good luck mama
You can't tell him not to hit and then hit him for doing that. He's acting out with violence already. Children aren't great at expressing emotions. I suggest cutting out the physical punishment since you yourself said it's not helping and doing a time out and reward system instead.
Eta I am not saying this negatively. Spanking works for some children I guess. I don't think yours is one of them.
@spookylyn, hmmmm that’s an interesting idea!! I’ll try that with him and see if he responds differently! Thank you!!!
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...
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill?
He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
He is gonna flip if he knows I bought a diaper bag...I had to tell him my aunt sent clothes from Florida so he didn't know I bought them off facebook and bought the diaper bag at Walmart after work what do I do
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Sometimes I hate always saying no so I created a baby safe area his nursery room and I let him be free. Nothing in there he can touch and get hurt so I don't have to say no
