How can u force good parenting skills among my sons father. he doesnt want to be bothered because of childsupp?
Support. I am 25 yrs old and we have a 2 yr old together. I am ready to move on from the past and coparent our son together. However he is immature and says he doesn't want to pay child support. So he has not been in my son life and has not saw him in 3 mos. This pisses me the f off. I am sick of the games I have moved on with my life and am working toward a better future and I am sick of him taking his anger of child support out on our son. I don't even understand why he is so upset my son hasn't gotten a dime yet. We just had our hearing in december. Why does he have to be this way? Why can't we just be amicable for our son?
MIL parenting skills
My kids are 1, 4 and 8 and my MIL babysits for me while I work, about 4 5 hours day. She is a kind and generous woman and is wonderful with entertaining the kids, really tries to get them involved and plays games with them. She is especially good with them when they are younger and able to distract them when they are fussy. However, my issues with her are stemming from when the kids have gotten older. As all siblings, my 2 oldest girls have occasional arguments and fights. They bicker and one will cry or complain about something. This I know is normal and when I am home, I have the girls work it out or I separate them or whatever to help them solve it. My MIL however, feels that they should understand reason and she tries to get them to stop fighting by saying things like, ' when I was little, we didn't have this many toys to fight over' or she will try to mediate and make the decision for them. She is just not good with trying to help them solve a problem. Then she is upset with them, they are upset with each other and it just makes everything stressful. My MIL raised my husband and his brother but those 2 apparently fought their entire childhood, so much so they had to have separate rooms they were almost exactly a year apart in age . While some of this may have been personality, I can't help but think that they were not taught how to disagree and solve problems calmly. I think they had a lot of unresolved resentment towards each other which carries over to this day. I can't really 'teach' her how to parent kids. She has seen how I do it and I have tried to tell her not to take sides but she doesn't seem able to understand it. I know it isn't a life altering issue my girls generally get along most of the time and I have plenty of time with them to help them learn problem solving. And I am so lucky that my MIL is around to babysit and the wonderful things she does for them. But how do you deal with the issues of someone not having the skills to manage kids this way? Has anyone else had to work this out with a regular caregiver? I can't really make up a set of rules that apply because each situation is different. It is sort of an innate skill we're talking about. I think if she could improve this, she would not feel as stressed out when they fight and it would improve her time with them. I'd be interested in hearing others' thoughts.
Have any other dads or moms going thru a separation experienced a change in parenting skills?
I am recently separated from my wife with a 2 yo and a 3 yo. I once considered myself to be the best dad in the universe but since the separation my superpowers have dwindled and I am lacking confidence as a father.Before the separation I took on most of the duties so this isn't new to me. I had the Mr. Mom rep. At least when we were together I knew relief was on the way when things were overwhelming and I had a partner to help re enforce rules.But now my patience and frustrations are worn very thin and everday routines are met with tantrums and the like.What routines used to be easy are now impossible to enforce as a single parent. I know the kids are going thru a lot with this and understand their behavior rebellion. But this question is more about myself and my behavior.I am a better father just knowing someone else is around for morale support even if they aren't helping at all.Is this wrong? How do I change my mindset? I want to be the dad I used to be.
The 13 yr old father.... now seriuosly have parenting skills disappeared?
was sat at 6th form today reading the sun ... it was the most shocking thing ive heard in a long timehow can any 12 yr old even know what to do to a 14 yr old.. this whole situation is suspicious however what was most annoying about all of this was what their parents had to saythe boy's father who has 9 kids was planning to speak to hi son about the birds and the bees....now that its too late what is the pointthe fact that the families didn't take any initiative to prevent this happening is very very worrying.... now i ask how can we see a brighter and better future for this country if the children are now having babies... who will teach who what? i dnt know if anybody else will agree but parenting skills have gone down the draini want to make it clear that im not bad mouthing all parents out therei have seen so many wonderfuly supportive and dedicated parents out there in my short span of life and admire what they have done and are still doing. But when you find a 12 yr old, fathering a child with a 14 yr old and both families of these teens are happy with it, the question simply has to be asked what is being tought about sex and the consequences that may or may not arise from it, to them or to teens and children across our nation.i just find the whole sitaution bizzar and odely suspisciousand what my spelling, gramma and pancuation have to do with this i don't know and really couldnt give a flying f all i want is an opinion relevent to the question
I've had enough of my brother's poor parenting skills!?
What do I do if my brother's son is a bad influence on my daughter? My nephew is 6 years old and just completely out of control He breaks things, runs around the house yelling, and doesn't get punished for anything. Now he's my brothers son so normally I would say its none of my business how he behaves but when I take my daughter over to my brother's house my nephew teaches her the wrong things.My daughter is 4 years old and shes not perfect but shes pretty well behaved. However whenever shes around her cousin he teaches her to cuss, hit others and she brings that behavior home with her. Now I was able to deal with this by explaining to her that that type of behavior was unacceptable at home but then yesterday I caught my nephew on top of my daughter on the bed in her bedroom. My daughter's dress was raised above her belly button and hes on top of her so right away I'm angry and freaking out on the inside. They tell me they were playing sex and I tell them that they can't play that game anymore. So now I don't know what to do? Should I talk to my brother? well I know I should but what do I say to him?
My parents have the worst parenting skills.?
My parents pretty much do every little thing to piss me off. And my sisters and brother arent any different. Im starting to really hate them now. My sisters are losers who have no life and sit at home all day watching disney channel ones 17 n 19 My lil brother is a complete jerk. my parents make me do all the work that my sisters dont want me to do. thats the little things that i dont really care about. they take away all my stuff exept my phone, but they stilll search it all the time. they took away my ipod and computer because they think that it will " help" me become a better person. and they are liars who tell me if im good they'll give it back to me but dont, even when im perfectly good. they hate the music i listen to and always want me to change. i dont care what they think of me. and i realized the less i tell them, the better, so even my cusins and friends know more about me than they do. i cant tell my sisters because theyre jerks also and tell EVERYthing to my mom. my dad calls me dumb and makes fun of me all the time. my mom cusses at me all the time when she gets angry. i really want my ipod back because thats the only thing that keeps me going in this family and i want an itouch now, like thats gonna happen. im not that social so i cant get out of the house all the time n my parents wont let me anyway. and im losing hope in life now. what should i do. i just turned 15.
Teenage parents and parenting skills?
Are toddlers who are parented by teenagers more likely to have behavioral problems? If you are a teen parent could you list your current age of yourself and your child and tell about your experience as a teenage parent and the problems or success you have with your childs behavior
Strongly dislike my brother's parenting skills?
Im concerned about my brother's children. He is a single parent because his wife has left 5 years ago. The oldest is his son who its 14, then daughter who is 10 and the youngest son who is 7. My brother still lives with me and my parents so Im familiar with his parenting skills. He is still unemployed, drinks 5 times a week, he's unable to communicate with his children in a pleasant way so the only time they socialize is when he yells or lectures them. He gets exrtemely angry when his kids dont eat at home, they are usually forced to eat because most of the time theyre just not hungry. My brother has teased his children, calling the oldest fat and diabetic bcus he's overweight and calling the youngest a, sorry, a " faggot" becus he plays with little girls. Ive defended his kids on a daily basis but each time i just get yelled at. My parents keep away from it because they dont wanna " teach" him how to treat his children, he's expected to know. But he obviously doesnt, so what can I do to help these kids out? I'm 15 yrs old.
After our baby was born, I notice my wife has poor parenting skills.?
Our baby is now 4.5 months old, my wife is exhibiting poor parenting skills, she is spoiling our little girl and over feeding her. I notice in the middle of the night when the baby is crying, my wife jumps out of bed and feeds it, not to mention waking me up. She rocks the baby and coddles it like a little puppy, I'm afraid my daughter is going to grow up spoiled and expecting people to jump when she demands it. I've spoken to my wife and explained to her that when we put the baby to bed, that's it, lock the door and and explain to our daughter that she has to think of other people, and her crying in the middle of the night is disturbing and uncalled for. My wife doesn't see it that way , she thinks that little babies need to cry to make sure we're around. Well what happens when she joins girl scouts, we're not going to be there , she's going to have to depend on herself, I think this is a valuable life lesson. Where can my " poor parenting skilled wife " learn these skills ?
What right does my ex.husband and his new wife have to be critical of me or my parenting skills?
I am mom of 7 kids and on my 3 rd hopefully final marriage happily.I met my ex.husband when i was studying abroad in London he was a lawyer it was love at first sight.I was a single mom of a son who was 2 yrs old at the time but being raised by my parents back in the states temporarliy but i choose to omit that fact till after our wedding.Thats when i found out he disliked kids did not want any but it was too late because i was pregnant with my 1st daughter.We divorced when she was just a baby.He wanted nothing to do with her prefering to just send a check.Afterward i fell for a french business man, had my 2 nd daughter and found out he as married.I remarried and had my 3 rd daughter but i was widowed after 8 months.I returned to the U.S.A and later wed my eldest sons dad.I have been happily wed for the last 10 yrs,had 4 more kids and have a very stable family life.But my ex.husband and his new wife who only recently steped into the picture feel they can be critical over my past?My daughter is 15 yrs old now a for the most part a good kid school ect. but she does try to rebel.Whenever she does the smallest thing wrong even if its a bad grade my ex. and his wife blow it way out of proportion.My daughter is not fond of visting london because she hates the rain food and most of all her step mom.She indifferent to her dad unless it benefits her so she avoids his calls sometimes and i get blaimed for it?We have no court ordered visitation and by recently i mean only the last 3 4 years of his daughter life has he given her any thought but only after he has his sons with his new wife.
There is more than just poor parenting skills.?
I only scratched the surface of my previous question, there are more instances of poor parenting skills being exhibited by my wife. Firstly, I" m 49 years old, my wife is 17 and a 2nd cousin..LONG story , anyways not only does my wife get up in the middle of the night when the little thing cries, she talks to it like it's a person. Like...oooh, who loves the little girl, who is the cutest..that sort of thing. Now when the baby hears that, don't you think it's going to get a swelled head ? I think of the future, when it's in high school, like she'll remember my wife saying, ooooh you're so cute and stuff and she'll have no friends cause they'll think she's concieted. My wife is heavy and if my baby has those genes she'll prolly end up fat like her mom, so I think we better prepare her for a life of misery, not give her false hope of being cute and stuff. I think we should snip it in the bud now, tell her she's got the " fat genes " and if we can stop the over feeding now, w're thebest
