[QUOTE="Shari, post: 333162, member: 1848"] Quite honestly, TM, at this point, I am so sick of easy child 2's lying, and feel so strongly that its a learned behavior because mom and dad allowed it (and remember, grandma encouraged it just one year ago), that I really don't care if she fails or whatever. Letting her cards fall where they may, altho frustrating, because yes, I could help, won't be a problem. I came to terms with that last year when grandma and mom had her lying about the Nintendo DS that she was to keep hidden from us. My problem with easy child, tho, mostly isn't easy child. Its husband's lack of parenting, in front wee, and his undermining me in front of both of them, and his lack of doing anything in general. Wee isn't stupid, but he's oblivious to most of it, so far, simply cause he doesn't keep score. He notices things occassionally, tho. Like our trip out of town this past weekend....easy child doesn't like to sit up. Ever (ironically, husband does get onto her for laying across [I]his [/I]chair...but that's it). So she lays in the seat, but she's very big, so she takes up more than half. They couldn't work it out so husband made them sit up, only one of the dogs was on the floor under easy child (they usually sit up front with me), so instead of moving the dog, he let easy child continue to lie in the seat. Of course, wee wants to know why easy child gets to lay down and he doesn't.... And when we headed home, easy child assumed the lying down position immediately, and husband was gonna let her do it. I told her to sit up and she straightened up a bit but kept her feet firmly planted in the seat. And I said no, all the way, we ain't even going there this time. And of course, wee wanted to know why he couldn't lay down for the trip back, since she got to lay down for the trip up...that's where my problem lies with it. husband is, for all intents and purposes, the only dad wee has. What kind of message is being sent that he gets in trouble for singing, but she can p*ss her pants and lie and nothing happens to her...and how long before he gets it? [/QUOTE]
