I really can’t stand the way my Mother babies my son. It’s getting ridiculous. He’s seven years old and will not go to sleep alone. You literally have to lie down with him until he falls asleep every single night or he won’t go to sleep.

So tonight I told him that I had to Raid on WOW at 10. So if he wanted me to lie down with him he had to go to sleep before 10. He wouldn’t. Instead he insisted he’d go sleep downstairs with my Mother when he wanted to go to sleep.

Instead at 12.. just when I was about to go run OS with my guild he starts throwing a fit telling me to lie down with him. I told him that he had to wait until I was finished. So what does he do? He goes and cries to my Mother so she starts screaming at me to put him to bed.

He is seven years old I shouldn’t HAVE to put him to bed. I was in the same room. Why would he possibly be afraid?

I really wish the cost of living wasn’t rediculous here so i didn’t have to live with her. Then maybe my kid would actually listen to me once in a while. Every time I try to put my foot down she just screams at me. So now he thinks I have no authority and can’t tell him what to do.

I also wish his Dad wasn’t a POS who’s never paid child support in his life and abandons his kid to move across the country to live with some Mormon who is twice his age and her daughter.
