Revisit - Reparenting With the In-Laws

[@lizzwilson8931]

My in-laws and I got along great… until our first kid became a preschooler, we definitely didn’t see eye to eye on discipline. They’re super religious and always quote “spare the rod spoil the child,” from the Bible and I guess that means you can use corporal punishment to discipline your kiddos. I did spank my son in all honesty and it just felt wrong I felt like a horrible mom, enter my search of parenting books and finding this wonderful life changing channel(: They believe in spanking kids with a wooden spoon… Mr. Spoon is what they called it when my husband was little (sounds creepy like out of a horror movie) and we almost got into a physical fight over them wanting to spank my son with this dumb spoon! I finally texted her later saying you know, there’s a reason your son doesn’t open up to you about much, doesn’t call you on his own, it’s because all those years ago, you instilled in him it was safer to lie or hide from you than confess the truth and be beat for it. I don’t want that for my kid. She actually tried to file a restraining order against me after I sent her that message, of course there was no evidence of abuse or physical harm to uphold the order, I know wives always have beef with their mother-in-laws but that woman needs some help😂 Love your content💕
