Too purty to live in town.....

1/8/08

I picked Joe up Sunday evening from his dad's. He'd been there a week and a half straight. Since getting him, Joe's been going back and forth between loving, affectionate, can't get enough hugs, angel child and disrespectful, hateful, devil's spawn. He was "unplugged" yesterday, no electronics, etc. Today, he's on "ma'am" restriction. Every, yes EVERY time he speaks to me, it must be followed by ma'am. It upsets me when he speaks to me with such meanness. It's obvious he didn't get much discipline at his dad's. So, I'm having to make up for it and do some de-programming and re-programming. I may have to extend the ma'am restriction a few more days until he gets it. No matter what, you just don't dis momma!!!!!
