It's not worth the money ! I can't stand that dread when the doorbell goes off and you know it's going to be a day . I would term immediately for hitting . I dislike when parents ,"joke" about the child's behaviour in front of the child !! You can tell right away when a child is "empowered" by parents ! I have one who tells mom stories about her day and mom advises and then child acts out !! Ugh like so and so was mean , then child comes and powerhouses everyone and says my mom says you be nice to me !!
I would not be able to put up with the day you have described !!
Personally I wouldn't but I realize our situations may be different !!
