Advice?[/quote]

I haven't talked to my mom extensively about what is going on with my son, but she is aware that we are spending lots of time and effort trying to help him.  Last month she came to visit, and got so frustrated with my son that she took him to his room and spanked him.  Very hard.  She couldn't understand why he wouldn't sit properly in his chair, couldn't keep elbows off the table, and wouldn't look her in the eye.  The thing is, he can do these things now with the right words and help from us.  He was just having a bad morning with her.

I was helping my daughter get ready, and heard him wailing in his room with her.  I went nuts.  This adds more context, and explains why I need to either set better boundaries, or simply come up with a different holiday plan.  [/quote]

jesus christ. that's borderline abusive. at best. that would be a total deal breaker for me, as in "Mom, you HIT MY CHILD and you may not be alone with him under any circumstances until I say otherwise. All the research shows that spanking is bad for kids, and this is my child. I get to choose how he is disciplined."

Seriously, that's a huge deal. I cannot imagine how scared your poor boy must have been.[/quote]
