[blparent] Behavior problems

[Nikki]

    Sheila, I don't have that problem. It's more like my parents are taking 
over even though they don't want to. Their help has been a "do it for her" 
even though they'll admitt that's not what they want to do, but their 
actions say otherwise.

Nikki i had to learn not to make threats and I had too learn that rules need 
to be enforcible. If you can't enforce the rule don't make it. If your 
parents won't support you in enforcing the punishments you will have do be 
there all of the time to do it yourself. If the dicipline isn't enforced by 
all the child gets mixed mesages and learns how to get people to change 
sides. An example of this is once my son was told by his grandmother that if 
he didn't stay out of my flowerbeds that she wouldn't buy him any more 
candy. He told her that he would buy his own. She didn't live here in great 
falls so she had no way to enforce what she said and he knew it and he was 
only five years old.
