Need some advice.
My stepson is almost 3 years old and he does not behave. I understand he’s 3, and kids are wild and don’t listen all the time. But he does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. He doesn’t go to bed, until he wants to. He won’t wake up until her wants to. He eat what and when he wants. He throws toys at my daughter, he hits our dogs, when you try to tell him what to do he just ignores you and acts like he doesn’t hear you. I tried talking to my boyfriend about it, but he doesn’t see any issues with it. He’s been kicked out of 2 different daycares already because he just doesn’t listen. I don’t think it’s fair because he gets away with things my daughter doesn’t. I just don’t know what to do.
I’ve tried to and anytime I do he says he doesn’t know what to do to change it, when I tell him that I’m not sure either he tells me that there’s no point in bringing it up then
@brandijrose1998 start with a schedule. Sit down and talk about when a bed time should be, when breakfast, lunch, and dinner is. Do you as a family have a schedule like that and eat at the same time as a family? Work together on it so that your SS knows that he doesn't only have to listen to his dad.
Nvm his your step son . Your husband needs a spanking for not doing shit about it.
The first thing you & your boyfriend have to do is to get on the same page, otherwise nothing you do will change the behavior if he’s not willing to get on board. Then you need to establish clear boundaries, a consistent schedule, a system of positive reinforcement for the desired behaviors, and age appropriate consequences for the misbehavior. How often is he at your home?
Full time. His mom left and moved out of state. I feel like that could be why, so I feel bad, but it still needs to change
@brandijrose1998, Oh poor baby. I’m sure that’s having a significant impact on him! But that doesn’t give him a free pass for misbehavior. You need to have a heart to heart with your boyfriend. Not addressing the behavior now will only make things harder for him in the long run.
@ek_, any advice on punishments that would help? I’ve tried time outs and taking toys away but he doesn’t take me seriously. He’ll listen to my boyfriend fine, but my parents help watch him and he doesn’t listen to anyone else but his dad
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...
I don’t know what to do... my son is 9 months and he is lazy but aggressive... he wants to move around and he can turn around but he refuses to crawl and uses me to pull up to stand up... he doesn’t want to be bothered but wants the help ... he’s so peculiar...he can put himself to sleep but if I’m not in the room he’ll throw a fit until I pat him to sleep.. depending on how he feels... I’m loosing my mind because I don’t know how to deal with him
Everyone thinks Frankie cry’s too much because he doesn’t want anyone else holding him, but that’s just the way he is. He’s shy, and he doesn’t see my siblings enough to be comfortable. My sister got mad at me because I took him away from her when he was freaking out. Apparently I’m supposed to just let him cry until he gets comfortable. Sorry if I don’t want to watch my baby cry lol
TMI question but just out of curiosity, how often do you have sexy time with your SO? If you don’t want to answer the question or you don’t agree with my question then SCROLL ON because guess what, sex is normal and natural. 🙄 I’ll start, once a week. I know, I know, my sex life sucks 😩
Question 🙋🏽♀️: what age do you allow your kids to have a cell phone?
My son wants a phone and I don’t know why lol. I’m like you have a iPad for games and anyone you need to call you can have my phone.
Definitely have a talk with your boyfriend. You both need to be on the same page or nothing will change the behavior.
