Putting Out the Fire with Gasoline...

[blindsided1]

So, the guy I "hooked up" with has called me multiple times in the last few days. He's really sweet. But, he just isn't "the guy" for me and I know this. I am just trying to keep it as friends and hope that he's fine with that, as well.

On another note....K and another toddler went for the same toy on Monday. K tried to bite the toddler on the stomach, that baby retaliated and bit her on the arm. So, I let ExH know and ask if she has been bitting when she is with him and he says:

EH: ya and I smacked her mouth and said no and she did not bite me again
Me: be careful about the hitting because she'll learn to hit. I stopped smacking her hand and now give time-outs and I think they have been working better
EH: I dont hit her, I smack her. Hitting and smacking are two different thins
Me: I wasn't accusing you of anyting. I'm sorry if I worded it wrong. Try giving a time-out next time. See if that works. I think she's still too young to understand physical punishment and I worry that she'll just mimic that behavior
EX: No
Me: Fine. Thanks for being so helpful. Good night.

So, the man refuses to try anything other than physical punishment. Great, just great. I want to smack him in the mouth.
