He headbutted her in the face.....
So, dear little 4 year old SS headbutted his mother in the face and gave her a bloody lip. As well as screamed "Get me the f*** out of here" while in her car. All which she openly admits. Which is shocking because he doesn't act like that here. He's actually quite calm and sweet. If he acts up, he gets time outs, does his time- the day continues. He sure as heck doesn't drop the F-bomb!
Recently she started dated someone new, moved in with him. I feel like he's definitely acting up over it all. So the transition back to us was chaotic to say the least, he goes from having no rules to having rules.
BM asked me for advice at pick up- she said she doesn't understand how I can calm him, and she can't. In my head, I laughed....the irony of BM asking me seems outrageous. But whatever, I told her we just try to be consistent at our house, bedtimes, routines.....6 kids, totally key! She thanked me for everything I do, which shocked the hell out of me. I didn't want her to think we were BFF's so I just said "you are welcome, I'd want someone to treat my children the same". And left it at that.

My skids live with us and act
My skids live with us and act like total assholes. They dont act up at BMs the 4 days per month they are there because she wont put up with it. DH lets them act like feral assholes.
At BMs they don't have a lot of rules except to stay out of the way of their step dad. They go in the bedroom to watch porn on their phones...not kidin so we had to trade in for flip phones. They don't talk back over there though. BM will put them in their place but they get home and start complaining about their time there. Kids just act differently in different households. Is what they know they can get away with.
Now there is a woman who is
Now there is a woman who is in for a world of misery. If she can't manage him at 4, 14 is going to be a nightmare. Of course it's her parenting that's the issue.
