Are you a push over parent?

[Melly]

Just curious how many of you on here give in very easily to your children? I am currently trying to break a couple from bottles and finding it difficult lol. Also if you do give it is it because you have a hard time telling them no or just because its easier to give in rather than argue? I find that I am a push over parent when it comes to the smaller ones. As they get older its a bit easier to say no but I am still a bit of a push over.

How can I say no to these faces ? The one in the back and on the side are mine. The boy is my nephew.

They are so cute! I love the facial expression from the one on the left.

Are you giving them sippie cups as alternatives? I found it easier to switch between the two and then gradually give more of the cup versus the bottle.

you got cute kids. If i were in your shoes, I'd give in. 100 percent.

i'm a new daddy myself. 17 months old, my only one daughter. Mine already pushes me around LOL. But I'm taking parenting class. That's my secret arsenal. Parenting class. Baby, you can't push me no more.

I'm a good addy, actually. I mean daddy. I learned a lot from parenting class that I wanted to develop a website on that subject. Especially when you have a baby, your own baby, it makes it more interesting. I wish I had taken it even before my daughter comes out. But it's never too late.

I'm sure you're a great daddy yourself. And bet you have a lot of fun with them. Three of them, that's quite hands full. And you still have time to do domaining, so it has to be good.

You know, I think we should have a little daddy mommy forum here. It'd be interesting if other members are interested.

Thanks Tia. Savannah is the one on the left and she always plays bashful. My 1 year old Savannah likes her sippy but wants the bottle when its nap time or nighttime. Whitney wants a bottle all the time. I can not get her to take milk out of a cup. She will use it for other things but not milk. So currently I have 3 on bottles lol.

Thanks Obo. Actually I am female lol not male. And I have 6 total and they are a handful. Newborn, 1, 2, 5, 9, & 10. Congrats on your baby by the way.

Hi


didn't see the pics, but since you have older children then you already know they develop personality by 2yrs old

if you haven't gotten a grip on that ass by then, you're in trouble


you gotta let children know who's the boss, at the earliest age possible

they'll put the bottle down when they get tired of it or as they learn to imitate you drinking from a cup


as long as they are healthy, be happy

imo...
