I think it's going to be a long summer.
Mom is Military. And, she's religious. So, apparently between those two, she and I have very different parenting ideas.
Mom also seems either very exhausted, or very sad.. I can't tell yet. (dad was deployed recently, and she was in Afghanistan until last year, then Dad went to Iraq..so, I think she misses him...and this baby is HARD)
I am not allowed to pick up the baby when she's screaming unless she has a good reason to be screaming.
If nap time is 2 hours long, she is to stay in her bed for two full hours.
She CAN be held and carried, but NOT if she's crying first. Her Mother will not have a kid who cries to be picked up.
The son is to be put in time out for wetting his pants.
He's not even three years old yet.
I have never had a parent with this many rules for little kids before. I don't follow all of her rules... I do what I need to do to make our day better.. if that means carrying a screaming kid, I'm going to do it... but, this kid screams 24/7.
