Ok I know anytime I reply to a post I end up using an example of my difficult child in it. Ugh!! I am just not sure I am cut out to deal with this child. He is the one I posted about being a hitter not long ago. He is sooo sneaky and mean. This morning started out with him coming in pitching a fit when his mom left. Ugh I mean kicking and screaming big time. Then later he of course hits my 2 year old. This happens daily no matter what. When we start playing I say we do NOT hit. What happens when we do? He always replies time out and a spanking. He gets in trouble at home (so they say) when he is not good here. Normally I don't suggest that but this child is different. Lol he honestly just don't care about consequences at all. As soon as my back is turned he is gonna hit. So straight to time out. I am at point where I just say go to time out and don't discuss it any further with him. I have to remind him to go potty because he don't want to just in case he has to poop because that is a major issue. He hates to poop.
So today I said go potty and he has a major melt down. That tells me he has to poop. Ugh great! So he spends like 30 min on potty screaming at top of his lungs because he don't wanna poop but has to. Now mom has taken him to doctor several of them and they assure her he has no medical reason for this. My opinion is he can't control that and he likes to try to be in control. If I say go sit at the blue table he would do everything in his power to sit at any table but the blue table. If I say go to the carpet he will do anything he can to not even touch the carpet. He is a very stressful child. His baby brother on the other hand is an absolute joy. So sweet and just a good baby. I know his issues stem from home. When they pick him up he throws huge fits when they put him in car seat. Runs away if they let him walk to car. Some days I am just soooo glad that its time for him to go home. I feel like I am constantly on him. I do reward for good behavior with a star chart but he gets very few. I want him to enjoy coming here but I refuse to allow him to be the boss. I don't argue with him I just pick him up and say I told you the blue table and I meant it. I can't and done give him an inch because he would take way moe than a mile.
My husband says don't stress about him just terminate. I do like the fact that they are just 4 days a week and also wonder how long it would take to replace them. I would just replace with one child though. I gave them a second child rate. (Lesson learned there). So if I replaced with one child I wouldn't be loosing much. I don't count on the money from them but it is our extra money and christmas is coming up. Anyways thanks for letting me vent about it. Haha I may terminate first of the year though.
