Positive Behavior Management

Mine is incredibly independent. The only things he wants from me are crackers and chocolate milk.

He has a couple of toddler sized chairs and he lugs them all over the house (up the stairs, down the stairs, everywhere!) so he can reach whatever he wants. If he gets stuck somewhere with the chair he'll screech at it and get all but he doesn't want help getting it unstuck.

After reading this, I am sooooooooo glad that my toddler days are over. Baby girl is 5. She's just about completely independent. Although, ocassionally, she likes to revert back to being an infant.

My youngest is 9 and will occassionally ask me if even when he's bigger, will he always be my baby.

My oldest is almost 9 and will occasionally tell me that he'll always be my baby boy. I reply with "Yes baby, and you'll always be my favorite son too".

My oldest is 12 and has acted like he could care less for me since the moment he was born. I'd pick him up from day-care and he'd be standing at the door with a "Oh, it's you." look on his face. He is a very unemotional kid. Weird. He's always been drawn towards his Dad. Really made me feel bad but luckily, I had my other son 3 yrs later and he loves me and wants to be my buddy.

My son is attached to his father too. But when I pick him up from daycare, he is so excited he almost chits himself.

My husband says my son is addicted to mommy. But he also acts differently with mommy than with daddy. He'll play in the garage with daddy and be totally fine playing on his own, but if he's inside with mommy, it's all "mommy seat (sit), mommy seat" and he wants me with him doing whatever he's doing.??? :shrug::shrug: Daddy is the one he calms down with before bed, mommy is the fun one who he plays with and sings songs with?? Weird.

I tell my husband nearly every day that the moment he comes home, the boys change. Both are home with me by 4:30pm each day and there are no fights and the house is calm and quiet. Come 6:15pm when Dad gets home, all of a sudden, the boys are bickering with eachother. My husband doesn't believe me when I say our boys get along well together because they can't manage to do so whenever he's around, unless we are out in public.
