DH works days except one night a week where he's gone. I recently had a 2nd trimester miscarriage and am still torn about it and having DS(6) on those nights has been a real challenge. He asks if he can watch tv as soon as we get home and I tell him no play with your toys. We have 50/50 custody btw but Ive been in his life since he was born so there's no "step". Last week we told him if he's not going to play with his toys, or he throws a fit about it then we'll take them. Well that's what it came to tonight. He said "I just wanna be bored" so I told him okay then I'm going to take your toys and you can earn them back and he literally did not care a single bit, was even helping me until I told him he's not watching tv tonight. Now I feel like a terrible parent because I feel like I shouldn't have taken his toys. Do I give them back and ground him from the tv until tomorrow or Saturday morning? Or do I stand my ground?EDIT: I did decide to give his toys back but no tv. He always says "I just wanna be bored" "I don't like my toys" "I don't want to okay with them" until I say "well I can take them if you want me to" and he says yeah and then I say "and I can give them to another family that does want to play with them" and then he cries. So idk what to do. He just told me he wants to stay at daycare and he doesn't like anyone picking him up (I'm the only one that does). He is literally sitting on the couch right now because he'd rather be bored. If he doesn't want to okay with his toys, why should he have them? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3qrhJSt
