My girlfriends parents

Ok now this is a topic that I like ! I have a 2 1/2 year old and we LIVE with my husbands mom so feel my pain. She does they same thing sets her on the table while she eats… ahhh I hate that cause my daughter thinks she can do it when we go out to eat. She has been putting her on her potty to use the restroom so now I have to take her to the bathroom every time. Before she used her own potty. She lets her do whatever she want. Her great grandmother thinks its funny by letting her slap her in the face (same as you) then she thinks is ok to hit. Well I could only take so much so I put my foot down. You are the father that is your child you are the one that is with her the most same as the childs mother. When they do these things it falls back on you and that not cool. You need to talk to the parents and tell them look I know you might think “these” things are fun at the time but “we” have to deal with it later. Please stop doing it. Don’t hold back that is you child not theirs and you have the say with what goes on. If they don’t stop when “the parents” do something that you don’t like SIMPLE walk up to the CHILD pick him up and talk to him about something like about a toy that is laying on the floor sit down and play with the toy. Say nothing else to the “parent” (because you have already talked to them) keep doing this every time they do something you don’t like. They will get the hint sooner or later. Remember that is your child and no one elses !!! Also I am sure they will say at one point or time we are just paying you guys back with what all ya’ll did to us when ya’ll were children… Thats what my “Parents” do but I just tell them well sorry you didn’t have better rules than what I hope to have. I hope I help stand your ground or you will have a child that doesn’t mind in the future.. good luck !!!

I agree with jazlovestoskate,

Talk to her parents … tell them how you feel. Make sure you let them know that you will take there opinions into consideration but you are the father and it is your job and responsibility to raise them as well as educate them. Yes he may only be 15 months, but you have to start early! Talk to your girlfriend also … she should be the one to talk to her parents and tell them in the nicest way to “butt out!!!”

GOOD LUCK
