[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 674828, member: 18271"] This is what is so hard for me- I've got a pretty decent/solid plan in my head when it comes to the baby- it just will take time and patience. Now, how to get my son to stop begging for money (and subsequently threatening to take the baby and not let me see him)- that's going to take detachment again. This evening, for example, I went to pick the baby up at noon. He was here with me - kids came by to bring laundry- initial plan was the baby would stay with me (I don't travel until in the morning)- well, he wanted gas money, then next thing you know he's angry and yelling and everyone is out to get him- I very calmly talked him- and told him 1) stop yelling - I've told you and told you- MY HOME will be a place of PEACE. NO YELLING. 2) I'm not a freaking ATM. Well, daughter was there observing all this- staying out of it. Next thing you know, he's getting the baby up (who was sleeping in my room) and putting him in the carseat. Why? Because he was mad. Now they are back at my daughter's (which means we know the baby is fine) and so at least I can sleep tonight. I've tried to shame him into doing right, I've talked so crazy to him, I've been calm. If there were no baby, this would be a no-brainer for me, because I did it last summer and likely still wouldn't be dealing with him much. [/QUOTE]
