BM had a child with her BF about 3 years ago. This was around the time when DH refused to give up his half of the custody agreement.
I think everyone saw it was apparent that she used this kid to make up for what she did to SS9 and SS11. She constantly cries "See? I am a good mother!"

Every time I see pictures of this kid I see Herman Munster. He really looks like him. And he is kind of creepy. At 3 years old, he torments the cat. BM told SS11 she had to get rid of the cat because it scratched this kid.
My point to this rant is that as much as I hate to think about this woman and the other side of the skids' family, I am curious as to whether or not this spawn is going to develop into a little murderer or thug.

At the beginning of my degree, I took a course on Family dynamics etc and the 4 pillars of parenting - discipline, structure, affection, and physical needs (shelter, food, clothes). If you do too much of only one thing, you inevitably contribute to a certain type of child. For example, too much discipline and not enough structure or affection, leads to rebelliousness. Too much affection and not enough discipline leads to a layabout teenager. Not enough structure, little discipline and too much affection leads to delinquency. The list goes on for the different combination of gains and losses.

My point to my blog: I watch SS11 and he is so unhappy here because, I think, he is not doted on as he is when he visits BM. We simply cannot do this. We give him affection, structure, discipline, and satisfy his physical needs the same as SS9. It just seems unfair or unjust to do otherwise. For all his strengths and weaknesses, I think if SS11 lived permanently with BM, he WOULD end up as a murdered or thug much like his half brother may. Only time will tell of course.
