They make me feel like a bad mom
My husband and my mom make me feel horrible because I yell at my son and tell him no when he goes and hits his sister like 2 times a day she only 2weeks old!!! He just ran up and hit her in the head earlier today he through him self at her managed to block him I always tell him that's not nice he starts crying throughs him self on the floor and I get yelled at by them both like I should just let him do it am I wrong for telling him no moving him away his 16months I know he understands because I constantly tell him no everyday. And she's not crying would she be ok it scars me to put her down around him for the fear he hit her again
Children need discipline. Have you ever seen the kids who's parents don't? They are super bratty and don't respect adults. Definitely continue. You are 100% in the right.
Your primary responsibility is to keep your kids safe. Your son seems jealous of the baby but he needs to know his behavior is unacceptable. Tell your mom to back up and tell your husband to step up! The last thing u want is for that precious baby to get hurt. Plus then everyone will blame u for not keeping her safe
Your not a bad mom at all, my kids are 2 yrs 10 mnths apart and when my son was a week old she dropped something heavy on his head while he was in my arms.. She definately got her butt spanked. Buttt since your son is so young id definately start time out. He needs to know thats not okay . Its nothing your doing wrong, it's common when they're that little.
Thank you makes me feel better and yes I move him tell him that's not right among other stuff I know he knows when he doing something he not meant to do like open the fridge gives me this smile then does it it's my mom not his he just doesn't seem to listen my mom has him spoiled he listens more to me when I'm alone with him
You are in the right on this one. He needs to know he's being bad its not like you're hitting him or anything. My sister would beat her kids butt for that which I think is wrong. You're right your family is wrong
Your not bad for that and you should tell your husband to have your back when it comes to discipline. Dnt pay his mom any mind those are you and your husbands children and only the two of you can raise them how you want. Teaching him at that she is good because he will know what is acceptable and what is not
My daughter is only a few months older and by then she knew that no means no and knew when she was doing wrong. They shouldnt make you feel that way because your trying to teach him young. If anything they are in the wrong.
No you are doing what is right. That is dangerous. Especially to a baby so young and fragile. Don't let them put you down. If anything they are the bad parents for letting him get away with it. It isn't teaching him anything. I wouldn't yell at him because it teaches him its OK to handle things that way but one thing I have found effective with my 18 month old is a two minute time out
No way are you a bad mum. Your son needs to learn that he can't hurt anyone especially his baby sister
