Re: my earlier post re: outside toys & kids just standing there....my 2.5 earlier today was just standing on the deck steps...I turned to him and said "******* go play!!" in my most sincere bubbly-fun voice - he looked at me and started crying!It bugs the sh!t out of me when he starts crying for no reason! I've told him "unless you're hurt, don't cry...use your words to tell mamma_mia what's wrong!" I'm at a point I want to just send him into a time-out from now on each time the waterworks start. Its pretty ridiculous....even the 3yr old says with rolling eyes "mamma_mia, hes crying againnnnnnn". There is a BIG communication problem. He doesn't talk to me at all or the other kids. Once his dad arrives he's Mr.Chatty, yet he's MY bobble head.
An example of earlier today:
Me - *******do you have to go to the potty?
Him - stare
Me - do you have to pee-pee?
Him - pee-pee
Me - So you have to go?
Him - go
Me - (confused already) yes? you have to go?
Him - go
At this point I take him to the potty and when he sat down he started crying
Its also almost like he's got the fear of death in him to ever say the word no. Parents are very strick so I'm not too surprised but really?? I asked him if he wanted to try DD's yogurt, he nodded but had a weird face. I give him a spoon full and he keeps nodding while gagging! Why not just say I don't like that...IT IS OK to do so! ((sigh))
