He went to my sister's house to help with computer stuff. Well her kids are rowdy (to say the least),and dh said he felt his head exploding. Don't blame him on that at all, I can only stand my sister's kids in small spurts. Dh told me "if that was SD, her ears would still be ringing"

I couldn't help but to laugh literally out loud. And he looked upset that I did, but come on dh!

Dh hasn't even really grounded SD for a long time. He's sent her top her room for 5 minutes a while ago (I think about a month or 2 ago) before that, I really think it's been a year since he's even done that much. She's JUST as bad, if not worse than my sister's kids.

She's even manipulates situations just to see people get in trouble. She gave my brother's 5yo something that my mother told him no about, when my mom wasn't looking, and then when my mom came back she saw my nephew with it and almost sent him to "time out". SD knew he wasn't supposed to have it, he didn't even ask for it, she gave it to him. Luckily they weren't the only ones around. There were other kids around and were able to clarify what happened... I was PISSED!

What did dh do? Nothing, thats what. There are countless other senarios.

She shoves past people, doesn't matter who they are, she does it all the time. What does dh do? Tells her to watch what she's doing. He may yell at her, but that doesn't help. Not if she continues to do it. she just shoved me a week ago or so.

She lies constantly, what does dh do? Nothing, tells her he is going to ground her if she continues, does she continue? Yes. Does he ground her? No.

She is too loud. She is constantly yelling. Constantly. Dh always threaten to ground her for it, does he? No.

I used to be angry at SD about this all. But I've learned that dh is the real problem, he doesn't do anything about this child's behavior, so how else is she supposed act?

So anyways, back to my original topic. I laughed at dh. How in the world can he say that? Does he REALLY not see that he doesn't even discipline his child? Not even a little? Does he REALLY not see that SD's behavior is the same, if not worse than my sister's kids?
