| that are very much a like but the husband acts the same age as the son? I do not know what I am going to do about it. I feel my husband is causing a lot of damage to my 13 yr. old. He is suppose to show him how to be a man and instead he shows him how to be a jerk. |

| No, my husband doesn't do that with our son (since he is only 2 yrs old). But, he will do things in front of my daughter who is 8yrs old. Like if he gets made at me he will tell me to f*@k off or something like that! Well, I don't want my daughter to think that that is a way all men are and that she will end up marring one just like her father.. Don't get me wrong he is a gread dad, but he has his moments. |

Hey Jill,
No matter the shortcomings of your husband's behavior, he has to be the example for your son. Lovingly remind him that no woman can teach a boy to be a man. Hopefully your husband's youthfulness is also a plus for your family :>) |

Jill;
I have a brother-in-law that is just like that. My sister-in-law blames it on his lack of a role model because he was in foster care and never had a chance to be a kid.
I think he does need to be an adult but he continues to act like a child. He is also a father to my nephew who is 12 and my neice who is 9. He is teaching my nephew some things that are quite rude actions. (an example would be when my boys came down to play with my nephew, he went in his room and played the computer)..
My brother-in-law doesn't take responsibility for any of his actions and my nephew is learning to do the same. I do however, am happy that they spend time together now because when my nephew was younger, my brother-in-law went in his room and sat on the computer til bed.
My sister-in-law has tried everything to get him to help out in the family but my brother-in-law has not grown up and continues to ignore everyone to play on his computer or with his remote=controlled cars..
If this sounds familiar, maybe you and I can come up with a solution for them..
Hope to hear from you soon..Becky |
