http://www.babyandbump.com A forum for parents of children from 3 years to teenagers! en Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:42:24 GMT vBulletin 60 http://www.babyandbump.com/images/bnb-v370/misc/rss.jpg http://www.babyandbump.com http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/77376-7-year-old-step-daughter-am-evil-step-mother.html Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:28:23 GMT OK, so I have inherited a 7 year old step daughter she's with us most of the time, and my son and her are continually bickering!

My son hits her, and she teases him. My son is four and a half. I'm not condoning his hitting in any way, but if she didn't tease him and irritate him so much he woudn't hit her. She knows how to tease, he asn't learnt that skill yet, however he's slowlypicking up skills from her!

Anyway tonight my df has gone to bed early not feeling very well, the two have been bickering all night and winding each other up, (so much fo a lovely family eve putting up crimbo tree.) Finally, my little boy hit her, I rollocked him as I am always doing, I've never told of sd, as I find it hard to. concerned I'm being bias.
Anyway so i took son out of the room, he went back in again I was washing up! So he went to hit her and she kicked him he's gone flying into the bed. I told her off, I told ds it was his own fault and then told them both I was sick and tired of them getting at each other all the time.
I told sd to stop making a fuss, he only has to tap her shoulder and he gets rollocked cos she whines, and you know doesn't really hurt cos she's laughing in the next instance. (When he does hurt her and he has once when we were on hols and he really thumped her in the stomach, whihc i told him off for, the whole day she was whining abt how son had hurt her, and how she was now feeling sick, and how she's completly innocent. Which I know she's not. )
Anyway so I told sd off saying you shld stop jumping at every chance to get him into trouble whining when he's barely touched you, then proceded to tell my son off for not leaving her alone. then said they were both to stay out of each others way, not being in the same room as one another.

I went into the kitchen to do finish the washing up and I hear son whining. I went in to see what was going on and there she was sitting bold as brass on the sofa. (she'd previously been in bedroom playing the computer, when I told her off.) I cldn't believe it, the outright defience. I told her, off again, asking why she had gone into there when she'd been happily in her bedroom. she mumbled something abt watching dvd, (which was dora, which she usually hates.) Then mumbled sorry and went to her room where she still is now hiding in her wardrobe.

It was the first time I've ever shouted at her in the six months we've lived with them, so I would of thought the first time would of been enough to put her off, and do as she was told. BUt she went and sat in the front room with son when I'd told her not too, I really didn't think she was that defient I don't know what she was thinking? Did she think I was joking? Did she honestly think she'd do it anyway? I don't understand.

Girls are a whole new ball game for me, I'll be first to admit and I'm finding it really hard to cope and find a role for myself re her.

Anyway she's hidden away, and I don't think I was out of order, but I'm second guessing myself, cos my son had his tears and is now over it. But then he's used to the way I deal with naughtiness. There was no shouting, raised voices yes, but no shouting and defo no smacking .

Anyway I don't know I just need to know this is normal, I honestly amd gobsmacked after telling her off she deliberately continued????

Advice, reassurance anything wld be gratfully recieved. AT mo I think I'm in shock and telling her off and her reaction? ]]> Shinning_Star http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/77376-7-year-old-step-daughter-am-evil-step-mother.html http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/77163-probably-asked-death-do-you-push-vegetables-your-kids.html Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:00:17 GMT I seem to be unable to find a working strategy to make mine eat vegetables.

She started her period this morning....:cry:

I have been in hospital since thursday night with suspected appendicitis so I wasnt here. :( Hubby sorted her out and then they rang me but I just wish I had been there. I was pretty scared when I got mine even though I was ready for it - its still a shock.

So 2 weeks after her 14th birthday and less than 7 wks after her sister was born, she is now able to make me a Grandma....:shock:...:cry:....:rofl:...:argh:...:hissy:

I'm carrying my first, a little boy, and after I've gotten over my initial happy astonishment - I'm wondering what it's like to raise a son. I've never really been around little boys, there are hardly any in my family and friend circles.

For those of you who have one, any age, what are the hurdles you never imagined in shaping and caring for your little men? What are the most gratifying things about the experience, perhaps compared to girls?

Mostly I'm worried about a little boy not loving me or wanting to be around me as much as his dad.

Thanks so much! :crib: ]]> beija_flor http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/75430-whats-having-little-boy-like.html http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/74018-whats-worst-thing-you-could-find-your-kids-room.html Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:49:34 GMT I guess I'm directing this more to the parents of teenagers. My dad's ripping apart the basement doing renovations, and my sister and I lived down there for YEARS haha, and so far he's found 2 full bags of cigarettes that fell down behind a heavy book case.

Hopefully he doesn't find anything else, :blush:.. it'd be so awkward to explain like a pack of condoms or something to my father, or a dimebag or something.. lol ]]> tasha41 http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/74018-whats-worst-thing-you-could-find-your-kids-room.html http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/74003-poor-pinky.html Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:22:49 GMT Thursday last week I was getting Aly ready to go to nursery when she was sick. so i decided to keep her off. called the school they were ok bout it... Thursday last week I was getting Aly ready to go to nursery when she was sick. so i decided to keep her off.

Anyway the friends house she was sleeping at was on messenger and i got to speak to my daughter i told her what had happend and said i would like to delete her bebo and change her msn addy anyway she was fine about it however this morning when she cameback i tried to tak to her and we ended uparguing her dad is backing her up saying i over reacted she now hates me and says i amtrying to take over her life, but i told her what i wanted to do ie: deleting her ady and bebo and she said it was fine until today. i know people pretned to be something they are not etc and it worries me as some of the girls she was chattin to are having sex fair enough they are older but i think its inappropriate for her to be in contact with girls like at that age.

This isn't like the ones she's had before. The sly 'don't want to tell you anything' boyfriends, or the ones where she's all sheepish and doesn't want to say anything, then if fizzles out. This one seems serious! She was on the house phone to him last night for 2 hours! She's invited him round here for an hour on Saturday because "he wants to meet you Mum"!! :shock: She's spoken to his mum on the phone and been invited over there! She's out with him now. I'm scared!!!!!!!!!

Thing is, it's also quite sweet. We used to live a few miles away when she was younger, and she went to the local Catholic Primary School (I'm not catholic, but it was a fantastic school). For 4 years from the age of 5 to 9, she had a boyfriend, and it was so cute. They used to hold hands in the lunch queue, and I can clearly remember one Valentines Day when he gave her some gold dolphin earrings!! She was devestated when they split up. Well, it's him!! He has a friend in our village, and came down to see him a couple of weeks ago. Kayleigh said she recognised him straight away, but he didn't recognise her (she has changed). When she told him who she was, he was over the moon apparantly. They got talking, and the rest is history.

It is really cute, and I knew it would happen eventually, but OMG!!! :shock: ]]> Amanda http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/69858-knew-would-happen-but-still.html http://www.babyandbump.com/kids-teenagers/69458-autistic-teenagers-help.html Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:23:55 GMT I just took my tom to his childminder and met their autistic 17 yr old.
