Oh my gosh that sounds like what my mom went through and she had kids too that did that stuff to their parents and she would tell them that they would have to stand in the corner or on time out because they were in her house and those were her rules and they are not to be mean in front of my mom and they can do that at their house but not at my moms. OOh that parents would kinda be mad but you know who in the heck is the parent here hello!! I just think that it is so funny to watch a chidl act like they are the parent and boss their mom around or whoever. I think you know what if my children were to do that which they dont yet and will never because fisrt i would not let that happen and second they would definelty be getting in trouble. But my mom watched a family where the mom is a nusre and the dad a teacher and the chidl did not talk he woudl bawl all the time and everyday you woudl have to say what do we say for a drink or what do we say when we are done. and my mom had said something to the mother because in all her 20 years of doing this has she never seen a child act this way and the parent think that it is normal he would hit his mom and she would tap his butt which would do nothing but she would tell him that he had to sit on the naughty rug and he would get off and finally mom told him and her that if she acts like this again you will be sit in that naughty rug and me and your mother will go somewhere else because I do not put up with that. It was so sad to see that happening and so angry at the same time that a parent woudl do that and let that happen and yet she would tell you that is why she works becasue she coudl not handle staying home with them and when she would be off she would ask my mom to watch him while she would do house work or paint Now who can watch there own child while they do that stuff, I am only 26 and I am not going to let my kids rule me but also i am not going to be that mom that says my child will never do this or that i just say well i hope they will never do this because someday it might bite you in the butt. I could go on and on about some stories but I wont and you know it is not always the childs fault because the parents let them do this. so dont think that I am in anyway bashing children when i have three and one with swcah and one with fragile x syndrome
