[QUOTE="halana75, post: 267112, member: 7064"] My hubby was teasing my son last night while son,9, was standing in the corner. Son was close to finishing his time when he started whining about going to bed...hubby took sons favorite toy and said it was his little sisters and pushed some sound buttons on the toy...son got upset but didn't melt down...I immediately sent son to bed instead of having him finish his corner time and hubby was angry wanting to know why he got what he wanted and I said how inappropriate it was to tease him. Hubby said he didn't give a $hit that son had been lying and a constant thorn and of course in middle of this son came back down to ask what he was supposed to do when he got up in the morning. This prompted hubby to take the toy and throw it in the trash. Son begins sobbing and for the first time ever I jumped up and told him that was ****, fished it out of the trash... Hubby isn't talking to me now. I told him that son couldn't be on punishment forever, his response was "why not? he's making my life a living hell but then he just goes on his merry way"... My son will forever be punished by him for past mistakes regardless if he can control them or not. Your situation sounds like the para isn't waiting for the incident to happen but instead is focusing on past incidents to punish not the behavior before it begins but the child. How frustrating. I definitely wouldn't let it continue. As far as how I'm going to handle my own home situation, don't know yet... [/QUOTE]
