Sorry Fish. Do I need to be bitten or spanked now?

crfische

Well, yeah it's gonna get interesting, you just rode on into the thread on a camel, dude.

First of all I take offense to calling my mother a moron. She is an RN with the highest degree, graduated on the deans list so watch wat u say about my mama or there will be some problems. He has cried before. We've tried all types of discipling. I did spank his hand. I had my 3 month old in my lap I was in the middle of changing her when the situation aroused. Someone else slapped him when he tried to bite my baby in another situation. I will talk to them about this because this is an issue they have been ignoring for a pretty long time. I do think he needs therapy but his dad's side of the family doesnt act any better than he does and he's 2. I know it is a behavior issue that they need to solve.

Petal, I'd like to answer that question, but I fear OP may take me seriously. SO. Just go take your time out in a corner, and we'll process through your transgression later.

crfische

Dude, the kid is TWO. He doesn't need therapy, he needs people in his life who understand development of toddlers.

I'm pretty stoked your mom isn't my nurse.

Fish, I chuckled a little too hard and started to choke a little. Thanks.

I guarantee that if my MIL is ever allowed in the same room with my hypothetical future child, I'll have her arrested if she spanks him. For that matter, if ANYONE spanks my kid, there will be hell to pay.

I was spanked a few times as a child. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it was the norm at the time. H was raised to be spanked at the slightest provocation, so he's said he'd only do it in the most serious situation. I don't think he'll do it at all, and that's fine with me.

Then remove your child from the situation, talking to the parents is really all that you can do but you cannot tell them how to raise their child. I have a friend who raises her daughter with no discipline, do I agree with it? No but she's the mom.

This.

OP, you will not impress me with your mom's degree. I know lots of people with degress. Some of them are morons. It just happens.

We were thinking about eloping but his family is so excited about the wedding (my family is 2 but it wud b about 20 of them there compare to his 50+). Im just going to say at this rate... its not completely off the table.

Snippylynn

Watch what you say about my camel Fishy! She is my buddy and even though she smells and spits at me, she is MY CAMEL.

EDIT: I honestly... if my mom disciplined my kid, I'd be fine with it.  I was a biter as a kid too, and my mom bit me back sometimes.  Not hard, but it scared me and I stopped doing it. Besides, it's my MOM. I wouldn't have her arrested or anything, and clearly, she managed to raise me and my sisters so...

What. The. Fluck. I am going to RACE home from work so I don't miss too much of this train wreck.

So smart, so refined, and yet - she <em>bites children.</em>

I will call him Squishy and he will be my Squishy. I need a camel named Squishy!

Biting children is the new PhD.

aleighk1

Do you really own a camel because that is badass.

lindseyl06

Really if yall cant find anything helpful to say get the f*ck off this post and take ur sh*t somewhere else. If the 2 yr old moms approves of this then that is btw my mom and her. She knows about this so shut tha f*ck up about it thank you!

FutureMrsTR

If some kid bit my kid right infront of me, I might swat at him a little bit. Just being honest. The grandma biting the kid? Insanity.

Snippylynn

And I will pet her and love her and squeeeeze her and looove her and pet her

Uh, well, don't bring this ish to the Nest. They'll call CPS on your dear mother, because biting children IS NOT OK.

Don't tell us how to post OP. It will not end well for you.

Oh, ok. So it's okay that the mom you were just judging a few threads down is ok with it. I get it now....

Nope. Still don't see how it's ok.

Is the mother of this 2 year old the same future SIL you just ridiculed in your last thread for her lack of parenting knowledge, specifically regarding her asking you the correct way to "wipe a girl"?
