INCONSISTENCY

if you tell your kid no, and he argues......don't cave. you'll always regret it. i see someone i know do this repeatedly, and the kid plays her like a fiddle. he's 3. christ.

the child is fine around everyone until mom gets home, and then the whining and crying begin. in mom's defense. she works, so she feels guilty about being away from him all day, and doesn't want the limited amt of time she has with him to be filled with disciplining him.....so she appeases him. I know her well, but am uncomfortable discussing it with her. and yet, i can see where this will lead. So...I just pinch the kid when no one else is looking.
