I'm livid!

[midlifehope]

I wasn't in the room this morning, but 'd'p slapped Ds leg. Ds is 4. I am livid. Apparently ds kicked dp and threw a comic at him, but it would have been very light as ds is a good boy. Ds said ouch and started crying. I said to dp we were no longer spending the day with him. I am beyond fuming to the extent my heart is racing. I am vehemently against smacking as a discipline strategy. Is this the end for our relationship/ family? We've just bought our dream house together but are not getting on well atm.

I sorry the OP seems to have gone. There was a lot of piss taking on here and I don't think I'd have stuck around either.

I think I 'get' what appears to be an over-reaction. I got to that point too, when I realised that all these 'little' incidents which individually could be explained away were having an appalling, nonsensical cumulative effect that did mean I broke the family to protect the DC.

If OP is having this realisation, then it's shocking for her. And I couldn't see anything that wasn't genuine, so I didn't understand everyone's posts. I certainly didn't see sock-puppeting.

I reported this thread earlier today, got a reply around 1.30pm saying they were 'looking into' it , and I know it was also reported last night by someone else.

I don't know matrat but Doreen's been around for ages on loads of threads.

I very rarely post or report as I like to believe in people, I did report this thread before posting I had and as I said the reply I got from MNHQ was that they were aware of sockpuppeting and would deal with it. There hasn't been any comment from them.

Havent read the whole thread but your good boy DS at 4 years old thinks it is ok to kick an adult and thrown something at them.

He is an angel if he thinks kicking someone is ok.

what the hell is sock puppeting?

Why was my post deleted?

What did it say, percy (paraphrasing so it isn't deemed to break Talk Guidelines again) ?

Glad you asked that SoThatHappened I thought I was the only one who wasn't invited to the sock-puppet awareness class

I jokingly suggested that maybe the DP should LTB.

Percy That doesn't sound like a reason for deletion, does it?
That said, I was once deleted in error when HQ were doing mass deletions on a thread, mistakes do happen.

Ah well

No I've been Midlifehope for ages - no sock puppeting here. Didn't even know people do that.

So dp and I have now chatted it through calmly - we have both agreed we don't want to use slapping as a discipline strategy and he said it was more of a shock reflex to being kicked- but in the future we will use a different strategy such as 'go to your room'.

So fingers crossed this has sorted this out for now. Although it did take me a few days to get to this calm state where I could discuss it rationally.

Percy I think you were deleted for calling me a 'B'
