Quote: What type of mom was she up 'til now? Was spanking the norm? Is there any chance at appealing to her maternal instinct?
Prior to being with OM she was the best Mother any kid (or father)could ever ask for. She never put anything in front of the children. She has only spanked S9 maybe three times in his entire life. I don't believe I can appeal to her maternal instinct. Any time I have eluded to the fact that she been less than a perfect parent she responds with anger. I have asked S9 to give her one more chance to honor her promise. He has agreed. I have also told him that if she lets him down again that he is more than welcome to live with me. I hope I am doing the right thing.
