When The Significant Other Spanks....

[melskids]

For one you didn't witness it, and this occurred outside of your home. It really does not
concern you imo. Kids says all kinds of things, amazing what my dck's say. I have a 4
yr old dck that embellishes many things.

Overall, a light spanking is no big deal; and did he say what brought that on? Many times I've had parents and so's that I couldn't stand, bottom line is I get them in and out fast, and have learned from past mistakes to keep it down to small talk.

My personal opinion on so's is if they are living in the home, they get to equally discipline. As long as there is not abuse ect. and I doubt this was. Too many times I have seen the kids miserable because one household tried to control the other because of petty jealousy issues. Mostly it works out best when the divorced parents move on, and co-parent with their new spouses. If I had a step child I would discipline that child as I would my own if they were misbehaving. Its really their drama.

This is really between them, and imo a spanking is nothing, in fact there are children who probably need it. If you're are not crazy about the gf, then don't let her stay or get past your foyer. End of that and you don't have to deal with her.

You're right. Like I said in my previous post, I'm frustrated at her for my own reasons. So today, I caught her at the door, kept talk to a minimum, and shoo'd them out rather quickly. From now on, when she wants to discuss DCB, I'm going to just tell her to talk to mom about it.

Thanks everyone!
