Am I The Only One That Thinks Like This?!
My Ss10 and Sd5 are BOTH cry babies!Like full blown terrible 2's tantrum cry babies! To me it's un flipping believable. I believe it has to do with their Mother. She gives them whatever they want and I'm NOT that kinda parent. You have to earn it and if you're acting like a brat you will not get it...at least not from me 
. Ugh it drives me insane!

You need to set the rules for
You need to set the rules for your own home. They can behave like this in BMs house if it is allowed. The children need to learn that you wont stand for it or tolerate it.
I agree with you. One of my
I agree with you. One of my SSs (11, almost 12) has a habit of regularly having a meltdown when he is unhappy about something or thinks something is unfair. DH has a tendency of trying to make him feel better and sometimes rewards him with treats or fun activities after the fact.
It drives me nuts. I want him to tell SS that his behavior is completely unacceptable, but BM is not above PAS and tells DH all the time that this SS doesn't feel comfortable around DH and feels like DH doesn't care about him, so DH is afraid to say much of anything.
"doesn't feel comfortable" is
"doesn't feel comfortable" is BM/skid language for "doesn't like the fact you can see through their bullshit and will call them on it. "

That's like DH occasionally saying the kid is scared of me... um no... he casts his eyes down or looks at me from the corner of his eye while clinging to dad... AFTER he did something bad...because he knows that I won't tolerate half the crap that dad puts up with... lol
That's not scared... that's knowing who's the boss!
(I kid.)
SS4 used to do that on a
SS4 used to do that on a daily basis, several times a day.
BM was the give in type - DH was to a certain extent... realized pretty quickly that by NOT giving in, yes it would get worse for a while, then die down.
Now, ss hardly ever throws a tantrum, much less a nuclear meltdown level one.
He HAS been seeing his mother recently though, an hour or two here and there, and he's definitely regressed - DH plans on telling BM to stop giving in to him, that he's been doing so well, and that she needs to really step it up. He's dreading it, becasue he doesn't know how she'll take - she's blown up in the past, but who knows now.
