[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's desperately wanting your undivided attention and, from his perspective, he's nit getting any from you or at least not a lot.

So, negative attention (time outs, getting reprimanded) is better than no attention  at all (in his little mind).

Try some consistent 1:1 play (no phone, no sneaking in a glance at dcum, no trying to do a chore while playing) with him for a good chunk of time.[/quote]

Look. I want to blame myself for this too. But the reality is I’m a SAHM. They get quality 1:1 time with me A LOT. Am I perfect about my phone? Of course not. I am pretty F-ing good though. If my kid doesn’t get enough 1:1 attention, I don’t think it’s possible. [/quote]

Is he in preschool or equivalent activities to keep him busy and not king of the world? If not, there is your problem. [/quote]

Yes!!

Seriously, some of the parent-bashing is pathological around here.[/quote]

DP, but chill out. It was a question. Little boys with SAHMs who are the center of their world and get tons of attention (as stated in the OP) are sometimes prone to this, so they asked the question.

You are in for a long haul in life if you think that was “pathological parent-bashing.” Lighten up.[/quote]

Nah, I’m not the OP but I agree with her that this response was gratuitous and unhelpful bordering on misogyny. Not everything is the fault of smothering SAHMs.[/quote]
