Any of you had any issues with it?
DSS11, I have DD 5&3. DSS bigger than average 11YO, 5YO was prem so isn't much bigger than 3YO.
Don't want to go into much detail, but we've had some horrid incidents just recently with DSS attacking the younger ones when we are out of the room. I'm talking, kicked 5YO in the throat, bent her fingers back, smacked 3YO round the back of the head.
The last month I haven't wanted to leave them alone together in a room because the girls always come running out crying and somehow DSS manages to convince DH that the girls "deserved it."
I know they can be a handful, loud, etc, but the latest things to me, have been done on purpose, designed to hurt. DH sticking head in the sand.
The last incident (bending fingers back - I'd been out of the room for 30 seconds when it happened, snarling at the girls) caused a huge row between DH and I due to his point blank refusal to discipline his child.
We have all 3 of them next weekend and I feel really nervous about it.
