Annoyed rant

Ugh I just can't handle it any more my hubbys son is so disrespectful and rude it pisses me off and I don't say anything because his mom passed when he was 3 but that's no reason to be rude if his dad doesn't do something he says or gets him what he wants he starts crying and acting horrible and in public hell say I hate you I want a new daddy and his dad allows this well today I got fed up and told him no means no and go to his room if he doesn't want to listen and his dad got mad at me! (He's 7 now btw) and I am so not about to let him be rude to my baby girl when she's here and let him get away with it! Ugh sorry I just had to let it out

Its so tough on kids, they don't understand what they are feeling and how to express it. Maybe counseling as a family. I mean him being so disrespectful is not ok but you have to fix why he is being disrespectful, you know. I personally would have no idea how to handle the situation by myself. He needs to know its ok to have those kinds of feelings (jealousy, hate, sad, ect) but the proper way to show them and handle them. This could have to do with his mom and being jealous of baby... Or maybe be has just learned how to get his way and what he can get away with. I think its important to find out how deep it is. If its just that he has learned to get his way, then that would be an easier fix. You and his dad just need to be on the same page! Good luck.

I can guarantee you he is acting out bc not only does his brain sooooo not comprehend how to handle the loss of his mother, but there is soo much sadness and jealousy and anger that he cannot control or understand bc he knows he will have to watch anotger child be born and grow up with their mother every single day. He will always have that pain every minute no matter what he does or wherd he goes. So be patient with that boy, and step up as his new mother figure and explain to his father why you are putting your foot down. Down try to be his momma if you cant understand that he has no clue what his emotions really even are or where they come from and are just going to get mad over tantrums. Tantrums are easy. Be firm. Dont give. He could be doing much more severe behaviors like self harm or harming others, or even running off at night. Yes at 7 thats very possible.

He'll  be an example for your baby girl.  So whatever  she see/hear him get away with she will pick up on.  Its best to handle  that now before she gets her.  You and your husband have to get on the same page with  your son.  Starting with how you feel about him getting away with things. Its gonna be hard but he's just as yours as he is your husbands, your married. Its a sensitive subject so you can't  wait until you reach your breaking point to say something, talk to him when you both are calm.
