[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 503416, member: 3305"] Malika, You may be right that spanking my 4 yr old grandson may not be the best way to handle a situation. I have Never spanked grandson...Or really, smile, ever had to really discipline him. He is a delight around me. Now grandpa, husband, has put him into the "corner" for time out before when he was talking back to daughter in law, etc. Midwest mom... A bit of background on young difficult child. Young difficult child was a very very sensitive child. He has now, as an adult, decided he is a "victim" if you will. He will tell you i'Tourette's Syndrome because we moved him from the mountain home, took him to the wrong church, sent him to rehab, sent him to TBS, etc etc etc. He does not take responsibility for where he is at do to his own choices. He blames others and feels sorry for himself. I think this is why it makes me so uncomfortable. Now, I am here asking the question because I truly want to help grandson and daughter in law in this situation. I will change (me) what has to be changed: my own insecurities, my own fears, etc if needed. I thank you for your insight. Tedo, Thank you so SO much. I think you are spot on! I will talk to daughter in law tonight (she is coming over with the kids to have Sunday dinner with us) and will let her see this thread and your replies. She knows you all are my online support system. You gave me some excellent concrete words to use with grandson. I really appreciate it! LMS [/QUOTE]
