I think they were distracted by the TV again.
I'm still convinced she displays more love and warmth towards the WW and Henz than her children.
Why does Ron have to share? He's still very young to understand the concept and it is also good to learn how to deal with tend conflicts rather than your mother telling you what to do. We always try to let ours come up with a solution rather than telling them to SHARE! or immediately getting our claws in the middle and playing referee.
It feels like she doesn't know how to speak normally to them and she's acting for the cameras. You know if she hadn't been filming, she'd have snatched that toy right off him and started swearing he was naughty.
Wait until they are 3 Soph and you take them into a shop and your toddler starts screaming and crying at the till that you are mean "I never get anything! You never buy me things! I have nothing!! I don't like you, you are mean!!!" like ours did last week when we went to pick up a birthday present for another child.
I acknowledged they felt upset and I understood they wanted something but we can't buy toys any time we go into a shop. That kind of thing doesn't faze me and I never feel like I need to placate them with stuff. The tantrum was forgotten about by the time we walked to the bakery but I was the worst mother in the world 2 minutes before that. It's not our job to give our children everything they want or make them happy all the time, either.
Edit: We are all human. There are also times I feel frustrated, tired and mutter f--k to myself when they are crying/complaining
Here are some parenting tips from Alfie Kohn, Soph. I hope this helps? ATV.
"1. Reconsider your requests.
Sometimes when kids donāt do what we tell them, the problem isnāt with the kids but with what weāre telling them to do.
2. Put the relationship first.
What matters more than any of the day-to-day details is the connection that we have ā or donāt have ā with our children over the long haul ā whether they trust us and know that we trust them.
3. Imagine how things look from your childās perspective.
Parents who regularly switch to the childās point of view are better informed, gentler, and likely to set an example of perspective-taking for their children (which is a cornerstone of moral development).
4. Be authentic.
Your child needs a human being ā flawed, caring, and vulnerable ā more than he or she needs someone pretending to be a crisply competent Perfect Parent.
5. Talk less, ask more.
Telling is better than yelling, and explaining is better than just telling, but sometimes eliciting (the childās feelings, ideas, and preferences) is even better than explaining."
P.s. Your son isn't one of your alpacas love. He doesn't need to get a carrot treat.
