I Dont Get Parents Sometimes
Yesterdat dcb comes in with chapped lips that look painful. His mom said every time I put something on them he just wipes it right off. Then she informs me they had a bad morning and he has already thrown up on her on purpose because he is mad and didn't want to put his shoes on. Remember my vent about him a while back? My difficult - gifted child? I was ready to terminate him but after a long time of meaning what I say and being firm and consistent with him he really doesn't give me much trouble now. He knows I mean what I say. So she comes to get him last night and he pointed to his lips. I said oh yeah he has had chap stick on today. Guess that's what he is showing you. She said how in the world did you ever get him to leave it on? I said I told him he is not to take it off and I mean what I say. She was amazed at how he didn't wipe it off. Lol. I don't say it if I don't mean it but If I say it you can sure bet I mean it. I just have to be consistent and very firm with him or all my hard work will be for nothing.

Most people know that don't they? Its not so easy to start but once you do it life becomes so much easier. Lol he knows I am the boss and he is not gonna win. It has taken months and months to get here with this child. He likes control and still pulls it on his mom. his grandma was telling me the other day that his mom had to spank him the other day. When she did he pee'd on himself. Then his mom was like omg I made him pee on himself. I said no he used that to manipulate her. Lol he will I know he has done it to me but it didn't work. He better not pull it or the throwing up junk on me. Not happenin at my houseComment

Most people do know this....it's the actually execution of this that is too much for some parents. They either are too lazy to do the hard work it takes or too weak and give up as soon as there is protesting from the kid. For them, it seems easier to just let it go and do what works for the moment.Comment

Oh yes and at very young ages. Lol tonight one of my moms came in she is like family. Her son had just woke up and was on potty. He wants to pitch a fit every time she walks in. I correct him right in front of her and stick his hiney in time out. Tonight he stopped when I told him he better not. I said I don't know why in the world this child acts like that the second you walk in. She said because I put up with it. I said yep bingo and nana don't. (He calls me nana)Comment
NEVER underestimate the power of a child...they are highly skilled in manipulation whe necessary. :
