Look up the definition of both words.
Oh, I am being real. What, you think your son isn't able to learn new things? Is he learning disabled? Does he have an IEP?He spent an entire year of school learning how to spell and write his name among many other things. now i have to tell him, nope this isnt right this is your name now. you really think even if i were to help him learn that he would just accept the fact thats not his name anymore. get real.
and coping skills really... at his age i am teaching him why he has to take a bath everyday and brush his teeth everyday and why he cant eat a bag of chips for supper.
Yes, coping skills. As in coping with disappointment. Coping with frustration in an appropriate manner.
And i agree i may be a tad melodramatic, angry, confused, ect. but this is my baby. my world revolves aroung him.
This might be part of the problem actually.
If you won't let him learn and adapt, sure, it'll become a big deal. It will be a big deal only if YOU make it a big deal.i agree that 5 year olds adapt fast or they could be totally stubborn and refuse to realize whats going on. This IS a big deal for a child. Don't act like you can just say it and they accept it.
There's no reason why he shouldn't actually KNOW the last name of his father anyway.Thats not how it is. And i do my job great my child has a roof over there head people who love him, he is smart, he has clothes to wear, food to eat everyday, water, etc. I DO MY job
if he were to learn the last name of his dad and have it for 5 years prob not. i keep my sons best interest in mind 100% of the time.
You know..because it's..his father?
