The teacher at school at a chat with me yesterday, explaining that my usually well behaved son has hit three children yesterday and missed playtime as punishment.
I have a 2 year old daughter who my son has become very jealous of, although he loves her very much, he keeps teasing and hurting her.
Other people in the family have noticed him misbehaving more and often tell him off. He has at times hit or kick me or his dad. As punishment, i take away his tv session or games session.
Me and his dad are no longer together but still sharing the same house at times due to finance reasons and the fact our children are so young and need the both of us. The tension between us is quite clearly seen even though we don't argue, we do bicker and become very sarcastic with each other.
I had a very in-depth chat with my son last night and he admitted he felt that he is no longer every ones favourite person since the birth of his sister. When asked if he feels there is anything different between mummy and daddy and other peoples mummys and daddys, he replied no.
I am very upset and not sure what to do. Will going separate ways properly and splitting the childrens times between us be better for them? They are very attached to both of us and often want us both there when watching a family movie together or at bedtime.
Anyone have any advice to give me or been in similar situations?
