My son is 4. His father and I are divorced but still have a good relationship. I have my son every other week then he's off to his dad's house for a week. So far this has worked but I think it has generated some issues with discipline. My son's father lives with his mother and step dad so "Grandma and Grandpa" are around all the time. My son throws tantrums when he is at my home to the point he will force himself to throw up. He has urinated on his floor right in front of me when asked to try and go potty, he refuses to pick up after himself, he can't seem to do anything on some days, he whines, he refuses to listen to anything except what he wants to hear. (I realize that part is normal.) I have tried everything, time out, spanking (yes, I believe in it), smacked hands, etc... I believe that he has no discipline structure at his other home and this is the cause of part his behavior. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about that. What can I do to make my home a lil more bearable?
