Your kids don't listen to you and your husband is smacking someone else's ass. You got some problems.

HMPH!!!!

I still love ya!


Oh and is your son an only child? I have a two year old daughter and she started that a few months back and but time out did work for her.

Lucky for me it was a short live phase and passed for now, may come up again but since she and I are on our own now and spend a lot of time together I am hoping that phase will not come back.

I do that to my husband. Silent treatment is the BEST!

I wish my wife would try that one on me! She just won't stop yammering!

Did you ever think that maybe the silent treatment is why your hubby pisses you off?

Ok, so the pass 2 months he hasnt been listening to mommy very well... I put him in his room with no toys or TV... That worked one day.... The other day I told him I was going to spank his lil butt.... He laugh at me...
I then told him mommy was giving him a spanking so I did... What does he do... Laugh again.... I just dont know what to do with him now... Time out doesnt work... Anyone have any thoughts???? Im going crazy..

Oh, and is my son the youngest to slam his door and say " I hate you" I was SHOCK and couldnt believe what I just heard!!! I just turn and said well Mommy LOVES you.... and walked away... I was really hurt by that.. Im not a mean mom... Why would he say that?? He hasnt said it since...

The best way to handle kids who misbehave is consistency. Make the punishment fit the crime but make it something that the child will rather do what's right rather than face the consequences.

If he has a particular toy he likes to play with, restrict him from playing with that toy. If he has a particular favorite program on TV, make that program off limits.

The main thing is to make sure you stick to your guns and follow through with the punishment. If you tell him he'll get a spanking for some infraction and he commits that infraction, spank him.

Some kids say mean things out of anger in the heat of the moment. At that age, most times they don't really mean it. If they're still telling you this when they get older, you may want to take additional measures to find out why.

This will take a few minutes...

Sit down and hold him in your lap for time out. The WHOLE time. Before getting up and after the minutes are over, discuss the behavior he is being punished for, why it is wrong, and let him help you plan a better way to behave as well as options for punishment if he repeats the offense.

I also make the kids sit in my lap until he/she is calm, then begin the minutes after they have calmed and stopped fighting.

Look for the root of the problem and discuss it with your pediatrician if the behaviors continue.

it starts from the minute they are born...and he's only 3? They aren't born with this type of behavior, when he was 1 and 2 what did you do to discipline him? Did you provide any at all?
