[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 615757, member: 1550"] I am going to assume you know who 36 is. If you don't, let's just say he was never a joy to have around and when I first got married he used to bait my husband (who is really a good guy and tried very hard to be a good male figure to the kids). 36 would swear at me, disrespect me and then when husband would call him on it, he'd say, "Shut up. You can't do anything. You're not my father." Well, one time he went after him and I got in between. I thought he was going to choke difficult child. That is the only time I have seen any sort of violence in husband and we have been married for seventeen years. I didn't call the police because he apologized (which must have killed him) and promised he'd never do it again (he has not). Looking back, I wonder how I never went after 36 myself. I guess since nobody ever spanked me, it wasn't my instinct to go after my kids physically no matter how obnoxious they got. I'm glad I didn't allow 36 to get in the way of our relationship. He was already seventeen years old and I wouldn't give 36 that power. I'm really glad too as husband is Husband of the Century. He is a very wonderful man. However, for a fact...if husband would have gone after 36 again, it probably would have ended up with me calling the cops and eventually our marriage ending. So...no criticism from me. husband has to realize he has no right to hit these kids, no matter what. He isn't a parent. I'm sorry this has happened especially right around Christmas. [/QUOTE]
