Its my mother inlaw's son, kinda hard for them to never see each other...
Well if he hits your son, it's kinda easy to make the choice. You can't really smack their kid, but you can refuse to see them unless they rein their kid in.
If your wife is fine with an another child smacking her kid, she's sick. She should have been the first one to make a hell out of it.
well at first its "oh boys will be boys", "hes just jealous" , and his mother does tell him off, put him in a time out, then make my say sorry.
but this form of discipline has yet to have any affect...
No one is fine with the situation, its starting to worry everyone, and no one is quite sure how to handle it...
