Parenting - June 2006

I have 5 kids bu the ones I am having trouble with are my three boys. They are triplets and they are 7. They always fight over each others things and when one of them has something, is like a pack of wolves ating a human! They fight and my baby of them Julien, got a broken arm from Adrian and Trysten pulling on it to get something that was in his and. I cried when I took him to the ER but not because he was hurt but because I am scrared that they will grow to hate each other. Does anyone have any advice about any of this???? I have tried spanings, groundments or a month, and even taing everything they love away from them. I ma have to take them to see a specialist in discipline???? I sure hope someone out there has some form of advice!!!

he used 2 let my step mom lock us out of the house, not feed us the whole weekend we visited him. Not allow us 2 use soap when we bathed. They used 2 make us sleep on the floor, because we were not good enough for beds. I ended up pregnant when I was 15 & they would let there kids try and kick me. I always got left at the house to baby sit there 3 kids(all 3 in diapers), while they went off on 8 hour motorcycle rides.
Later in life I got married and asked my son, 2 walk me down the asile. My dad was furious. He thought he should have done that. Then he wanted 2 invite his new girlfriend to my wedding. I said no way. Because she would let him see my brother and sister from his previous marriage. He was so mad that he didn't come 2 my wedding, and blamed everything on me. I now have 3 children 12,7, & 2. I haven't spoken to him in 5 years. All I asked for was an appology for everything that happened n the past and he told me to get over it. Should I forgive him?

He will go pee on the potty if I put him on. He won't tell when he needs to go. I've tried sitting him down on it every 30 min, putting the potty infront of the TV, a prize box of new toys if he poops on the potty. My 15 month old daughter went poop on the potty the other day and she got a prize from the box. This didn't even seem to motivate him.

She had the kids, but when they went to stay with him for a week, he kept them, moved and won't let her have them. She's contemplating getting them to meet in public and taking the kids back until the temporary custody hearing. The dad is a low-life slacker who hasn't worked in 13 years. He's a user and a manipulator and he takes care of the kids, but he has never been a provider and I don't think any judge with half a brain would give him temporary or even permanent custody. What should she do?

Should you correct the children, the parents, both? Kids make fun of my son when he's playing sports (teasing things like "you look gay when you swing") and these are 7-8 year olds! The parents do nothing! He's trying so hard to fit in and even though he's not "athletic", he loves the sport just for the fun of it. I hate for these mean kids to humiliate him. What do I do?

I was at teh mall yesterday with my ten year old niece and 1 year old niece and my ten year old niece Winry had to use the bathroom which was convinent cuz i had to change my other nieces, Reila's, diaper. Needless to say this invovled me going into the womans bathroom and while she was using the bathroom i changed my niece and was waiting by the stall door for Winry when a woman came up to me and called me a disgusting pig because i was in there! Was i wrong? i didn't want to let them go in with another woman and get hurt, should i have let them go with another woman? Was i wrong for what i did? Was that bad parenting (guess u could call it uncling) on my part?

My mom has put me through a lot of crap in the past. She left me with a horrible father for 7 years, and didn't speak to me once during that time. Then, when he kicked me out because his current wife wanted him to, she came and got me. I thought I could forgive her and move on, but things just got worse and worse. We never bonded, and I still really don't know anything about my mom but her lies and deciet. I came home from school one day (I've graduated now) and she was gone! She had left with her boyfriend for another state! I mean hello! Arent kids supposed to be first? Because of her I got evicted and lost everything I own. Now she has contacted me and wants forgivness, and honestly I don't think I can do it. Why forgive the woman who took everything I know and love away from me? My family won't speak to me anymore because they say they never will unless I forgive her. When I graduated recently, no one was there. I dont want to be alone forever, but I can't let the past go. HELP! :(

Father's day

Pretty much every time I go to the Grocery store a woman (usually young looking, in her late teens or early twenties) is yelling at her kids: Shut up, Jordan! Put that down, Amanda! They don't even bother telling the child calmly to put it down and behave. They just start yelling immediately. They don't seem to have any loving patience for their own kids. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

Her son is 10, and seems to have horrible rages, is manipulative, dishonest, and rude (to her a lot). She blows all of this off and spends a huge amount of time making excuses for him, and "talking" to him about his "bad choices".She is a well-educated, regular mom. I don't even want my children around hers--but her son is especially worrisome. Should I tell her I am concerned? We live far apart, so visits are pretty condensed and intense. I could just try to ignore...but should I at least try to express that I am concerned about him?

Since I became a Mom My mom is driving me nuts. When we visit her or she comes over she basically ignores me and my husband and only pays attention to our child. I get that she loves being a grandmother but she should still have a conversation with the adults in the room. She also likes to tell me about all the things my child can do like I have no idea what they can do. She babysits for me a couple of times a week. It just seems almost like she is obcessed with it or something and it kills me. I wanna say something but I know she won't see it my way. Like the other day she told me (as I giving my child a snack with chocolate) "you can give them the "snack" with out chocolate, or you can give them the "snack" with chocolate- I don't mind" I was like "YOU DON'T MIND" - I am the mother I make decisions for my child. Am I just overreacting? I obviously have to deal with my in-laws as grandparents too and they can be annoying in their own way, is it just because she is my mom???
