For the right cause, it’s good to be presistent. My wife had been cold to my idea of no tv during the week. I’ve been saying that all along, after reading that suggestion in the book. No avail. Finally, yesterday, after we were doing homework with Fabian and Victor was watching TV, something clicked in my wife’s mind. I said, no TV during the week, and TV on the weekend only if the kids are good. And she agreed. She turned it off. She said no tv during the week. I will hold her accountable. The little one can still watch it a bit during the day, when Fabian is in school. I just don’t want them to watch it during school week.
I raise my voice. I scream, sometimes. I get really angry. At my kid! For what?! For not picking up things I’m explaining to him. Really? That has to stop. Would I scream like that on other kids? No. So why am I treating my son worse than others? Good question. Unacceptable, actually.
