[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 543088, member: 6705"] :hugs: I deal with this a lot.. The biggest problem we have is people who just don't GET it. mother in law does not recognize her own behaviors in Onyxx... And Onyxx is "just like bio" and is a sociopath... father in law, on the other hand, believes that lots of lecturing and punishment will beat it out of Onyxx and Jett, and that they are lazy. My parents, on the other hand... Mom is pretty negative. BUT... She loves the kids and tries whatever she can to help, including BACKING OFF when necessary. Dad's not [I]as[/I] negative, but he is very very wary around Onyxx (she hit him a few years back). And bio gma... Well, bio learned her behavior, is what I can say there - and much of Onyxx's behavior is very, very like bio's. Thing is, yeah, the kid could be dangerous - do they think we are unaware?! What do they propose we do about it? Oh, like lecturing and spanking is gonna work. How about they come HELP?! No? Then shut up. Honey, you are doing the best you can with what you've got, and if the fam can't see it - I can see not talking to them... More :hugs: [/QUOTE]
