Q: Need Help Parenting

Hey guys!! I don’t make posts asking you guys for a lot. So please read this and give me your honest opinion. I have been finding myself getting into some binds. Larry has a way different parenting tactic than I and I find us arguing over how sean should be “handled”. If sean cry’s I will find something to calm him. Well I will at least try, I mean I will check his diaper, give him a toy, etc. But larry feels that if he is holding sean and chooses to put sean down, and sean cries, that he should not pick him back up because that is babing him. I hate that, that’s not babying him, that is helping him. What can I do to show him that I agree with a lot his parents tactics, and that he is a great father, but that this is a bunch of bull. Larry does everything else right for sean, larry does everything for sean, but I cant stand this.

Also, I find myself cussing at larry in front of sean. What did you do to “make yourself” , “watch your mouth”?? Can you help me!!

I love you ladies!!

I have this book that my doctor gave me at my first appoitment, and it was everything from your pregnancy to labor, and then parenting the first 3 years.. I was reading the stuff in the first year, and it says not to worry about babying your baby...Babies are babies and need to be babied.... Thats not the words from the book but thats pretty much what it said... Maybe when I get the book back from my moms I can post what it says... If you want.

I would pick him up. He is still very young and needs to be nurtured. Maybe when hes like 3 or 4 and still doing that, then you let him sit there but seam is still you. And you do need to watch your mouth. Think of better words to use. Like if you wanna say stupid! Say dummy! Or dork, or retard or nerd, things like that. Nothing too harsh because sean will pick up on them and he will start using them on you, larry and your family. I read in a magazine about a lady who cussed alot in front of her kids until 1 day her son said, "stupid bi***" to her, she stopped cussing quick. In my family non of us cuss at all, unless we are really angry and its never in front of the kids. Just try harder. But im sure youll do good!

This is what I have heard too. Babies can't be spoiled, what you give them is just simply what they need from you. It doesnt meen they will always depend on you to pick them up. There are things danny and I don't agree on too. And sometimes I feel helpless trying to get my point accross to him. He thinks he is right, but I know I am lol. And I am damn stubborn too, unfortunantly so is dan.

About the cursing, I stopped ( or slowed it down anyhow) when cheys first word was caca. And I eventually left her father, partially because he used to curse me all the time in front of chey. When chey was 2 she actually said f-u to me. I can't help but to think this was cause she heard her father say this to me alot. Now adays chey tells me " don't say that word mommy, thats a bad word"
