Freddy has to be awake right now bc of it. Normally he would be asleep but my brother and Steven are in the living room playing games. While

his gf cleans up some of the kitchen. And I am sitting in the room on here bc Frederick can't go to sleep unless someone is in here. And the

only reason he is doing that tonight is bc my nephew is running around like a wild boy. Then you tell him to stop he stands and cries like

their is no tomorrow. And well my son knows their are other ppl here. Blahh I just wanna go to sleep already!

If a child crying because you told them to stop or no is a sign of failing at parenting then I've failed. It's a phase all kids go through.

I know my siblings went through that phase, my daughter is in that phase (and has been for a while), and I know others kids who do that.

Just wait. I'm willing to bet money yours goes through it as well.

That doesn't mean you've failed at parenting. It just means you have a normal kid.

no. he is out of hand. he refuses to listen. he will ignore you when you are telling him to not do something. and then when you get after

him he cries bloody murder!

and most of the times he goes nuts for things like cake, soda and candy at midnight. i'm sorry but he should 1 be asleep by now. 2 not be

wanting junk over real food.

I agree he should be asleep and not wanting junk however my kid has moments where she ignores me and won't listen no matter what and throws

fits when you tell her no. Grant you I don't give and she knows it won't work but she still does it. It seriously is no lie a phase they

go through but I guess you'll find that out when yours gets older. Now that's not saying the parents don't handle it properly but if you

think your kid is never going to ignore you, is never going to ask for a cookie instead of real food, and never cry when you tell him no

you're in for a surprise. I use to think "My kid will never back talk me or ignore me" thinking they only do that if you're a bad parent but

I was totally wrong . It's the defiant stage where they test your limits and push your buttons. I just don't want you to think you've

failed as a parent when that phase comes.

I think pretty much all my nieces and nephews went through the same as your nephew. I think it is just something they go though. And my

My brother and sister are not bad parents. It is no excuse though but it happens. I do hope your little boy doesn't do that.
