What is going to happen when your son's daycare teacher asks him about the bruises, and he responds that he gets bitten all the time but his parents say it's OK?
Are they planning to homeschool the child permanently? Because biting will not be tolerated in school, and it would be better for them to try and get it handled now than have the child miss a bunch of school because they can't fix it quickly. Not to mention the potential lawsuits if the kid bites a non-relative.
They have no plans of sending their kids to school. Home schooling all the way
After the first time, I would have addressed it. That you didn't is the reason why this has continued as a non-issue. So it's time to stand up to your wife and her mother and brother.
My son would not be allowed in their home again, nor the girl in my home, until the assclowns in charge get the biting dealt with.
I addressed it multiple times. We have had multiple arguments due to this issue between my wife and I. All she and her mom keeps saying is that we need to give the parents some time to find a remedy they are doing all they can and that I cant separate my son from his grandma whom he is attached to dearly.
It's not common at age 4 because it gets addressed way before then.
I would not let my child be around the cousin until the biting was under control. Is it breaking the skin? If so you need to take your child to the doc. My son was in Pre K (he was 5) and a kid bit him. He broke the skin. He had an infection and was running a fever. He had to get antibiotics.
We called his Dr. and he is upto date on tetanus shots so they said it is ok. It does bleed and have marks on his skin ...
Hmm, what else can you do? Don't want to keep your son away?
What in god's name is wrong with you, you are willing sending your kid to a place where he is getting bitten,regularly. How about this, make a deal with your wife, every time your son gets bitten, you bite your wife and she bites you. At least then all of you can feel what he is feeling, wonder if the issue will stop then. Why should he be the only one bitten, when he has no control over where he is taken?
Time for you and your wife to grow up and put the safety of your child before your wife's relationship with her mommy.
I don't want to send him there but at the same time I am not sure if this is worth breaking marriage. So need to analyze pros and cons of this relationship which is a separate issue all together
Frankly, I'm more concerned here about your wife than I am about this incident, if she shows this bad of judgment on this, what else will she allow to happen to your son and not think it's a big deal?
she is overly protective about her kid but when it comes to her siblings and mom she is not that responsive to my plea. To her this specific matter is minor and not worth straining family relationship. I would definitely not allow that at the expense of my kid.
All she and her mom keeps saying is that we need to give the parents some time to find a remedy they are doing all they can and that I cant separate my son from his grandma whom he is attached to dearly.
I'm afraid I would have bitten my wife by now. LOL
Has anyone tried biting the girl back? Getting a squirt bottle and squirting her when she does it? I would put my foot down and refuse to have him over there until it stops.
I dont want to take it upon myself to find the remedy for this problem. I emailed them the links. If they think its worth it to get help they would do it. Otherwise, my son is not going close to that home
