Question by Justin: At my wit’s end.. help a new “dad” out?
I have custody of a 4 year old boy. I dated his mother when he was a toddler, but we broke up about a year ago and she started dating someone else. At first, i got to visit him but then she moved in with another guy 7 months ago and I hadn’t seen him since because she stopped allowing visits. About a month ago she called and told me she was going to be going to prison on felony drug charges. her family is as messed up as she is and the child’s biological father was here illegally from mexico and was deported before the kid was even born. He’s never made any attempt to find anything out about his son. To keep the child out of Foster Care, she and I went through the courts and did all necessary paperwork for me to get full legal custody and guardianship of him before she was sentenced to prison.

She clearly neglected him. I had to potty train him and treat him for headlice when he got here (he’s 4). He has little to no respect for women and a foul mouth that I’m constantly having to correct. Tonight I took him out to eat and he threw a fit at the restaurant because he didnt want to eat his vegetables and threw his plate on the floor. I paid the waitress, helped clean up the mess, and we left immediately. When we got home I told him no TV, no playing with his guinea pig, he had to go straight to bed. That was 3 hours ago. He’s still throwing a huge fit and has thrown up from the screaming. I don’t know what to do anymore. Nothing I do is helping. I called a coworker of mine that has kids and she told me to ignore the fit but I feel awful not doing anything.

What do I do?
He sees a counselor regularly who has told me to always correct him when he’s being disrespectful to other people. He disrespected me and the waitress at the restaurant. I had to correct him.

His intolerance of women stems from seeing his mother’s behaviors and how she allowed herself to be treated. Even though he’s only 4, I’m not going to let him think of all women as servants or lesser people, as he was treating our waitress tonight when she was trying to help calm him. I’m trying to raise him up to be a good man, not an abuser like the others he has seen in his life.

It’s just a phase that he is gooing through but you may need to see a child psychologist

Take your dog to the vet. It’s clearly very sick and the vet can’t diagnose and treat a dog over the phone.

I just had my son on the 22nd . hes gorg. but anyways lol i bottle feed and we started him on regular newborn enfimil formula and that was just not setteling with him at all . so we figured maybe he was lactose & tolerant so we tried the enfimil soy and that seemed to have not worked either , weve been using the enfimil gentlease and its worked the best out of all of them but im still really worried because he does not go without spitting up or throwing up a good amount after / during every feeding. i saw the doctor today for his newborn weight app . and she really didnt seem concerned . maybe its just me thinking its too much spit up but its really been making me scared . im a first time mom and i really do not know what to expect . can anyone help or have any ideas on how to make it a little easier for him to keep it down better . thank you
