The one where I admit that my child is spoiled rotten….

myboy

This little boy right here is spoiled rotten.

How did it happen?

It might have something to do with a certain smile, a dimple and a winning personality.

And a couple of weak parents.

And maybe because one parent got tired of being the ONLY disciplinarian in the household and let a few things slide…

Pookah is basically a good child. But he is a strong willed, opinionated, and defiant child when he isn’t getting his way.

Which is often.

I had started thinking, that the boy was getting out of hand.  That his whining was starting to be like fingernails on chalkboard.

And I was proven correct late last week when Pookah hauled off and hit CDub.

In public folks.

Say it with me….AW HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s just say that didn’t go over too well.

Cause I’ll be damned if I have a 16 year old Pookah trying to beat my ass when I tell him to do something.

So there are going to be some changes coming around here.

A firmer hand you might say.

Hmp.

And that’s all I’m gonna say about that………

This is my fear that our little boy will be spoiled too...we are trying to let him cry sometimes but then his pout is sooo cute we pick him just to cuddle! Good luck with Pookah!

Thanks. Pookah's dimple got us in this mess in the first place. LOL. We're doing good though. We just had to all come to an understanding.

That dimple would get me every time. LOL. I agree with you. Kids need that structure and parameters. Hope y'all get on the same page.

Yes, it's the dimple! I think the hitting incident forced us to get on the same page. CDub finally gets it.

Whoa!! I think about high school Chunks whenever he starts storming around here too he has to fear me until he gets to the stage where he loves me too much to jump at me. Firm hand mama just don't look into the dimple!

LOL. I know, he looks so precious, even when he's being bad or crying! He's been looking at us like we're crazy the last few days

It really comes to consistency. I am way more lenient than Chris so consistency is something we need to work on too. I'm completely against spanking though.

Yep, it's all about consistency. And now that CDub and I will be on the same page, hopefully we will see some changes around here.

Uh oh. Not the hitting. I wish Jas would. Jas is spoiled by everyone but me and that's a problem really because she know who to act out with and then I come and lay down the law. I'm always the bad guy but I refuse to let her get out of hand.
