Son has had a hard time going down this week. I think part of it is personality and just the way he is, but it drains on me that he just won't listen. I do spank him once inawhile, but it doesn't matter he just laughs. When I put him a time out for being mean or naughty he'll respond with "well it's mean putting me in a time out" or he'll want to stand in a different corner, or not stand, but sit, on and on till I just give up. I just get frustrated because if he goes to sleep late than I go to sleep late. I get up earlier than son, and it's harder getting him up..it's a vicious circle.
I think this bugs H also that his son is so independent and stubborn and talks back to him. H also thinks that I need to have more control over son which is why I brought the subject up. I should be able to talk to him about this no matter what happens. I'm not doing it to make him feel guilty because he's not here right now, but because he is his son, also.
