[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 183258, member: 1550"] I'm disturbed that SO is 43 (he's not a kid) and thinks that discipline (whether or not he's never had a child before) means yelling, swearing and getting PO'd if he doesn't think the punishment fit the crime two weeks later. Is he a positive force in your son's life? Is he always this way? I know what I'd do because I"m headstrong and not easily intimidated. I'd tell him that this is MY child and I'm in charge of his consequences (I actually had this arrangement with my hub when we first got married, and it really worked out well). If he can't deal with difficult child better than he is, I don't think you have a choice other than to take the child's discipline out of his hands. Does he not have a job (SO?) Why is he home all day? Is this good for your son? I would refuse to take calls from home and let SO deal with this child. I do think the two of your could really use couple's counseling. It doesn't sound like a really healthy relationship, and who knows how he treats your son when you aren't there? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
