desperate mother of 3 year old/ bad behavior
Comments (4)Take a deep breath. This might be easier for us to read. I am a desperate mother of a 3 year old and everything I do doesnÂt work. He refuses to talk when IÂm around but if IÂm not there heÂs talking with no problem. HeÂs a good boy for everyone else. He can be at grandmas, his uncleÂs, or his godparents, even my fiancéÂs motherÂs house and he talks and he listens, very rarely pitches fits (which is all the time when IÂm around). As soon as I walk in he starts acting up, not listening, getting into things that he knows heÂs not supposed to get into. He wonÂt ask for anything, he whines all the time no matter how much attention I give him. It seems like its never enough. I work with him on his word books, he still acts like he canÂt talk and I know he can, its so aggravating. We have tried everything we can think of. He has a naughty chair when he is bad; he has to sit in it. That doesnÂt work, he keeps getting up or screaming, and we have a "neighbor" that lives upstairs from us and has called CPS on us because of his fits and his screaming fits. we cannot move at this moment because of how bad the economy is. But now because of CPS and their threats we are afraid to punish him and I know he knows that. These people came in my house and told me in no uncertain terms that I could not punish him in any way. The only thing I can do is give him a timeout, and IÂm sorry but in my opinion TIMEOUTS only work on a small fraction of children. My fiancé spends as much time with my son as he can because his biological father isnÂt there for him, (he knows my fiancé as daddy heÂs been the only daddy heÂs known for way over a year and a half). His behavior is out of control and its me and I donÂt know what to do anymore. I just want him to listen and talk. I feel its my fault cause after his "father" walked out on him I think I overcompensated. I would watch my son stand in front of my living room window looking and waiting for that ***hole to show up to come get him (sometimes up to 3 hours). He would just blow my son off and not come, no phone call, no nothing. Because I felt so bad for my son I lacked on the "rules" and now its come back to bite me and I donÂt know how to correct it.

Comments (0)We're replacing our windows with vinyl retrofit ones. I have 2" faux wood blinds and want to keep them. The shop said I can't attach the blind brackets to the vinyl, but there isn't much of my old wood left and the blinds will have to stick out past the frame. I think that will look bad. How have you solved this problem?...See MoreBow window decissions, in regard to LOOK.
Comments (2)We have one of each in our home. The bow window in the front of the house has six panels. Each panel was built seperately and then connected together. We have a bow window in the master which has a large fixed window in the center with a double hung on each end. We used Weld-Jen vinyl and they are far from looking bulky. Whether wood or vinyl, there will some more bulk compared to old single pane aluminum windows. All-in-all, we had 25 windows replaced in our home. I can't emphacize enough using double hungs on all moving windows. I can clean all the windows in the house in an afternoon....See MoreKitchen window(s) with bad views
Comments (22)mairin - I love your "peek-a-boo" windows!! That's an idea I might steal! My above-the-sink window looks out across the driveway to our neighbor's house, a total of about eighteen feet. I'd be staring right into their bathroom window if they had not planted some flowering shrubs just on their side of the lot line. On the other side of my house, I have a shrub right outside my bathroom window that serves the exact same purpose. When I first started planning my remodel, a KD came by for a consult. She looked at my little sink window and said "Let's turn this into a double window." I had to laugh!! Besides eliminating two upper cabs in my small kitchen, this would just expand my view of my neighbor's side wall and bathroom window! ncamy - If you decide on a trellis, consider jasmine if you are in the right climate, such as North Carolina. Open your window a smidge, and the wonderful scent of the flowers, along with the butterflies and hummingbirds they attract, will make you forget about your neighbor's ac and garbage cans....See MoreWindows on Washington Ltd
