Just need to get this off my chest..

Steve thinks a spanking is the answer to everything. I know I am too lenient on Bree but c-mon now. For example, tonight at dinner. We got our salads and Bree had her fill of fruit and Bread. She got bored while we were waiting for our meal and started throwing forks and climbing all over the place and being a terror. Steve tries to hold her down and say "Brianna stop it!" And then smacks her butt. (which of course helps nothing, just makes her cry and want to nurse. But it makes him look like a good dad in the eyes of others. Others being jackasses with no kids. Or old people who dont want to hear her. Grrrrr) I know that her behavior is inappropriate but she's 1. I think its very age appropriate. He expects her to act like an adult. She isn't a adult. I just think her being a terror is part of being 1. He disagrees. Thinks he can spank it out of her (((rolls eyes))) he's not hitting her hard, just a little smack on the butt- but still. There has to be some happy medium. Actually the only place her really does this is a dinner. It embarrasses him when she starts acting up. As it does me but she's 1! Anyone with kids totally understands and isn't gonna give us grief. I know the answer is to quit going out to eat... ((sigh)) I just don't like it when me and Steve aren't on the same page.
