Yesterday during a family father's day cook out, Fsil asked FDH what was going on with the incubator. He said he hadn't heard from her since the last visit over a week ago. Then he looks at me and said did I ever tell you what FSS told the incubator? No, I didn't hear anything. So he tells me FSS was throwing one of his fits and told the incubator that he didn't have to listen to her, she wasn't his mom anymore and he had overworked now! :jawdrop: Now, I am all for this statement, it is totally true. She shouldn't be allowed the title of mom. HOWEVER-- Part of me was a little disappointed. She is his mother and I am a little upset he was not corrected on how to speak to an adult. And that whether he likes it or not, she is his mother and he will be respectful.

The other part of me just smiled He is my boy, and I am Mom. That's all there is to it. Wink

It's nice to be recognized as mom. However, the fact that he wasn't corrected should concern you. What happens when he gets mad at you and decides to pop off in a similar manner? When nothing is said, and it slip sunder FDH's radar, how do you plan to deal with that?

He tried that once with me and I was right on top of it. I told him to "look around- Do you see another mom? OK, Then I am the mom in this house and you will be respectful of me as such and you will follow directions because I am the adult and I told you to. The end". He apologized and did what he was told. I have 2 kids of my own and I won't be bullied by a 6 year old.

"I like the look around do you see another Mom?" I may have to use that if it ever happens. My SS is only 7 and very respectful, unless hes being a typical kid. LOL.
I'm thankful that I have raised 2 kids before, because I have the experience to know what your own kids pull. The only complaint I have about my SS is that he is VERY spoiled, and he can be VERY self centered. After vacation last week, DH and I will be trying to work on not giving SS so much. We took his cousin from BM side of the family with us on vacation and SS acted like a spoiled turd. Which is our fault, at our house he is a only child and Very indulged. DH does try to teach him to be respectful. But with kids that young its always a work in progress. LOL
