No matter what we do...<BR/><BR/>I know I had every reason to turn into some kind of addict or worse based on my childhood and how I was "raised."<BR/><BR/>I've had my issues, but I also can see how the effect (the end result of "me," at least so far) was not a product of a specific cause.<BR/><BR/>I love Wayne Liquorman's (Advaitic) take on this - "I believe in cause and effect, I'm just not sure which comes first."<BR/><BR/>I can see in with son that I play the role of mama and he plays the role of baby, but there is something MUCH bigger at play... Something much deeper playing these roles called "us."Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845905393175076110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26433227.post-1156958261921774612006-08-30T13:17:00.000-04:002006-08-30T13:17:00.000-04:00Stick to your guns, don't let anyone pressure you ...Stick to your guns, don't let anyone pressure you into giving him things that can wait.

Sounds like those kids have sort of a sibling rivalry thing going on - the 3 year old is just following the older brother, and who knows where he learned it. When the time comes you'll be able to teach bb how to handle problems like that, and because he was raised with a different set of priorities those things won't be a big deal for him. <BR/><BR/>I'm totally the same way with Sam when it comes to doing things in evenings or during naptimes or anything that will really mess with him. It's hard because I get a lot of pressure (from in-laws mainly) but I just feel like it is totally unfair to him and those things will just have to wait.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471056466254620749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26433227.post-1156906121354798282006-08-29T22:48:00.000-04:002006-08-29T22:48:00.000-04:00Bopping over from....

And it isn't crazy to try and protect him, but the bad stuff will catch up with you sooner or later, so it's a good idea to be prepared. My kids can definitely get toooo competitive with each other. I think it's a sibling thing, honestly. (Who does Mommy love best? You're older, so I have to catch up... etc.)tracey.becker1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.com
