How do you get your SC to listen and mind you? My SO and I are having a real problem with a 2 1/2 year old little boy. Today he slapped his father and got spanked for it. It is only getting worse

I have 3 bio's. My youngest is the same age and its the hardest age. All my kids were slightly rotten at the age, my youngest has been the hardest so far. If you figure it out let me know lol I really think it's just that age. My two oldest have grown into very respectable people so far. Just keep being consistent with rules and consequences; it will pay off. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day, but you will slowly see changes over the next year or so.

My husband tends to coddle him. I told him to stop it and to stick to his guns about punishment. The SC really acted up today at the park and my husband lost his cool with him. Maybe that is what it will take.

Sometimes that is what it takes. Coddling is a big problem as is inconsistent consequences. I've had to talk to my FDH about this with SD6. He still coddles her big time and she is the biggest entitled PITA. I've tried to explain to him that when you are not consistent, you teach them they don't have to take you seriously and it turn learn they don't have to listen. And she doesn't.

Paddle - bare ass - problem dealt with.

2.5 is a too young for a serious spanking but get ready. If this behavior escalates in a couple of years it will be time to light this Skids ass up.

Good luck.
