How do I get my boyfriend to help disipline my kids?
My son was very disrespectful to my boyfriend 1 night and boyfriend just got upset and left. I dont think that he should just walk out, I think that he needs to confront my son with the problem and talk with him about what happened! I need help! Can you give me answers??
Looks like all the answers here are the same as mine will be: You’re putting your boyfriend in a no-win situation. And, even if he were the kid’s official step-dad it’s still a no-win proposition for him. I’ve been the boyfriend, and the step-dad, and learned my lessons the hard way. Sorry, but your idea never works. They’re your kids; you discipline them.
Yes, he should never walk out on him, that way your son will think he is king, he should sternly object. Are you legally separated from his father and did you meet your boy friend afterwards?
If you dont want your son to be any angrier than he already is, don’t let the boyfriend disciple him. And if you want the boyfriend & the son to have a relationship, dont put the boyfriend in that position. You should sit down with your son & talk. Ask him how he feels about the boyfriend & listen IF you can get him to talk. Most boys wont. Then YOU have to set boundries for everyone. Your son should be expected to show respect to anyone you have in your house. That doesnt mean they get to boss him around. It means no yelling, speak civally, ect. And set some boundries on your sons behalf. Maybe he’s uncomfortable with something the boyfriend does, or displays of affection. Boys are protective of their moms & he may feel like you put the boyfriend 1st, so include him sometimes & spend mom/son time without the boyfriend.
YO IM A TEENAGER AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS your SON GOING THROW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS TALK TO HIM AS A MOM NOT LIKE A FRIEND ‘TILL you FIND OUT WATS WRONG THIS IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO DO AS A MOM BECAUSE your BOYFIRND IS NOT HIS DAD SO HE WILL NEVER RESPECT HIM AND THE ONLY PERSON HE RESPECT IS you AND I THINK HE AND your BOYFRIEND NEED TO HAVE A TALK TO HIM AS A FRIEND.
I agree with both satan and chaos.
it your kids so you should be the one to punish your kid. and I don’t really think you should be mad at your boyfriend cause he did the smart thing and left. cause if someone else kid got smart with me. it would be hard for me not to hit them. so yeah you should go take care of this problem by punishing your son. and making him say sorry to your boyfriend.
That’s a rough situation on both the b/f and the kid. Best thing to do I think would to talk with your b/f and let him know how you feel. It could be he doesn’t feel right disciplining your kids, and left so he wouldn’t do anything stupid.
But I have to say, they are your kinds and I believe the responsibility falls on your shoulders to discipline them. If you wan to bring your b/f in on it that’s fine, but to me that sounds like a large step in a relationship if he is going to be taking responsibility for your kids.
@ mikeh lol!!!
Yeah, I’m going with them too. It’s very tricky for a partner to get involved in the discipline of your children. What if you dont like the way they do the disciplining? It probably is best for you to address it. While also making it clear that your partner deserves respect.
Talk to your boy friend. Start out the conversation by apologizing for your son. Then casually bring up the subject that if it happened again he needed to disciplined. You could find a way to get through to your son and tell him to respect others, especially adults, together.
If theyre not his children he not only shouldnt have to help you with punishment, but its really not his place to do so, in my opinion.
Haha, no you dont see that sentence too much at all. That just made my day. :)
‘’I agree with both satan and chaos.’’
You really don’t see that sentence very much.
