When it was time to make a decision regarding his son’s schooling, this father of four had to deal with the birth mother of one of his kids offering her two cents in parenting.
It’s no surprise that parents make certain decisions for their children, especially when they’re at a young age. But at some point, kids start making up their mind by themselves, even if it’s something arguably insignificant, such as choosing their outfit for the day.. When it was time for his 11-year-old son to pick an elective class at school, the woman tried standing up for what she believed the boy wanted, but his dad said she had no say in the matter.
“As they get older, outline what everyday choices you’d like your child to be responsible for,” Berman suggested. “Make a list and work with your child to shift the responsibility from you to them. The more decisions they can make, the more practice they will have.” Allowing your child to practice decision making will help them develop the skill necessary for bigger decisions in the future, be it personal, professional, or otherwise.
But that wasn’t the only thing fellow netizens pointed out. The story seemingly split them into camps in regards to whether or not the man was a jerk to his son’s. While some said he was too harsh with the woman, others believed she shouldn’t have been sharing her “two parenting cents”. Needless to say, no two parents raise their children the same way, not to mention the complexity of a situation when there are biological and adoptive parents involved. The latter typically put a lot of time and effort into creating a connection with their child and parent them the way they feel is best; and while some birth parents care for the child very much, too, them trying to parent the little one can become a cause for disagreements.
