[QUOTE="wantout, post: 502561, member: 13709"] I am a stepmom to 2 and a mother of 2. All children live with me and my husband. He has an 8 year old son CC that i have been raising since 6 months old. At the age of 18 months everything went downhill. CC was kicked out of 4 daycares because of biting (making kids bleed) and physically abusing the other children. At 2 i had to quit my job to stay home with him. He broke everything in his reach, continually played with dirty diapers and ate contents, and was banned from playgrounds for his violence. When school started at age 4 we were recommended to get a psychologist and evalution because of his numerous incidents at school. Home and school is the same behavior no variations.
