[QUOTE="totoro, post: 237827, member: 3155"] I don't necessarily think it is what we would do with our kids that matters, but what you feel difficult child is ready for emotionally and mentally. I's sorry but a lot of people think I am crazy that I freak out still over K crossing the street on her own. Well most times she is OK. But when she is on sensory overload. If a car is too loud or comes to close, she bolts and runs. I am one of the only ones who realizes this. So yeah I look like the over bearing Mom. But who cares? I know my child. I don't let her around knives. Period. She is just learning to cut with a butter knife and butter things. Why? She has a history of violence and instability and I do not want to give her something to hurt herself or someone else. I am taking preventative measures. She has cut things up with her scissors, I have had to take those away. She does not know what a weapon is and I would like to keep it that way. She is 7.5, maybe at 9 I will feel differently? Front seat? No way. But for me K is way to immature for most of these things. I am teaching her safety and rules, she is one that once she knows the rules, she can not fathom breaking them. In situations like this. Especially if a Police officer told her at school. Showers, I may let that slide, although I would not like the clothes things, because I would want to be teaching her how to take care of herself. If he were to be *Basket C'ing* it then maybe. But just out of laziness or spite, I would be PO'd. It is hard, I guess it depends on how much you think she can handle, how much you want to fight. How much you think EX will change or care... Sorry you even have to deal with this Carp. You have enough to deal with, you shouldn't have to educate him also. [/QUOTE]
