Question
I have a very strong-willed, conniving 10-year-old son who LOVES to manipulate his paternal grandmother into getting away with ANYTHING...
Isaiah has stayed with his grandma while his father worked (we are recently married) all of his life, so completely separating them seems harsh. I have read all of John's parenting books, which mirror the way I was raised...
If my husband's mother will not support any rules in her home or enforce any punishment that we impose; if she basically wants to ignore everything my husband and I say, what can I do? Tony (husband) says that since grandma has helped so much to raise Isaiah, we owe it to her to overlook some of her faults. I am afraid she is turning my son into a complete ninny!
