My son is 5-yrs old, I also have a nephew the same age. For some unknown reason my mother and grandmother favor my son and treat him as if he is the prince of the land. They do it when he is with me, when they watch him as well as when my nephew is around. If my son whines (which he does CONSTANTLY) he gets it. He gets pushed a bit too much and cries they cuddle him like a baby. My son is far from fragile. He will wrestle and hit just like any other boy. When it's just him, my b/f, his son and myself at home, he doens't whimper or cry when the kids start fighting but when he's around my mom and grandmother, he goes into complete sissy mode. They give into him all of the time. This is putting a serious damper on the relationship I have with my sister because she sees it as well, too much. When I punish my son in front of them, I am told I am being mean. I have talked with them, yelled and even kept them from my son. What else can I do? They refuse to see my point. Help!
