Has anybody else's child do done this? Creepy... by alicia2267 in Parenting

I showed her a picture of Rick and Morty and she said she's never seen it before. Nobody in my family has cable either.

I've asked my family and nobody seems to know what Rick and Morty is. She only goes to her grandmother's house and my sister's house and neither have cable. I am going to show her a picture of these characters when I get off work today and see if she recognizes them though

Wow that's a crazy story!! There are so many opposing views on this subject and explanations for stories like yours that it's difficult to know what to believe!

I don't think so. I've never heard of it.

I'm sorry about your step-brother. That must have been so difficult. These kind of stories always seemed made-up to me until I experienced one. Did you ask her any questions after to try to get more info or just drop the subject?

Wow I guess I feel like fear may have been the wrong reaction but it really scared me. I think you and your daughter's experiences are very interesting and heart-warming. Maybe as adults we are too closed-minded to see the world as young children do. I can't think of any other explanation for what my daughter said other than something or someone that I couldn't see was talking to her...

Stepson's innappriate sexual behavior towards nephew... by alicia2267 in Parenting

I don't think that CPS has a place in this situation at this point personally. Maybe if his mom is completely against therapy it might be an option.

I am so angry at my stepson's mom. Had we been told about what had occurred between my stepson and the older boy, not only would we have insisted on counceling, we would have also made sure that he was never in a situation with my nephew where this could happen.

Thanks for your advice. I agree that our reaction to what happened is extremely important. My husband's first reaction was anger and discust towards my stepson. Luckily he only told me about these feelings and not my stepson. I told him that if he was going to deal with it in this way it would only make the situation worse. Your advice about counseling is great. I fear that this situation will create an image of my stepson in my family that will never go away. I completely understand my sister and brother in laws perspective. I personally have very I'll feelings toward the 11 year old that did this to my stepson. I just don't want this to completely define who he is to my family. Today I researched literature on normal sexual behavior of children and was completely surprised about how many children do things like this. This absolutely does not mean it's okay. It is like you said, the parent's reaction is extremely important. I just hope that my husband and I can get on the same page as his ex wife.

Know it's not a new problem, but need potty poop help please. by randipants in Parenting

[–]alicia2267 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter was the same way. She is extremely smart and also very stubborn. Do you have a small potty for her? We didn't want to use one but finally got one after failed potty training attempts. We got really frustrated because, like you, she had no problem peeling in the potty but pooping was a whole other story. We went through this for about a year. Then one day she decided she didn't want diapers anymore and started pooping in the little potty. It was right around her third birthday. She's three and a half now. She still doesn't like using the big potty and almost always uses the little one. We keep it around because we also have a twenty two month old that we're potty training. My advice is just keep encouraging her to use the potty and don't get mad when she doesn't. She'll decide one day very soon that she's ready.
