But he does, and I dont want to lie about my sons behavior or well being, but if i say what I see to be the case "He seems to have bad days after nights he has slept with you, and his behavior backslides everytime i get him back from you"
Itll just start a fight, but its the damn truth, even the Daycare said so to me yesterday.

He talks about being bored with her, that she doesnt play or read to him anymore. She just keeps him alongside her like an accessory, or pawns him off on her mother. [/quote]

There's one called "No Drama Discipline" that might be useful.


Thats not a bad plan. I doubt she would read them, but at least it wouldnt HURT.

Also, i sent the prizes he wont at the arcade over the weekend to her house with him, as he was super attached to them, and proud of them.
They didnt come back home with him.

She would rather bogart his favorite things and keep them at her house like a dragons hoard so all his favortie things are there.

Thankfully his favorite things a REALLY stuff like "Anoo (Canoe) rides with Dada and Uncle"
And going out on "Big Uncles Big Boat", fun with our dogs, and story time with Aunty and Dada.
Not things she can take home with her. smile
