Lol at calvinists being emotional, easy believist, etc.

I think that a non-Calvinist has to answer these questions for why they don’t believe in God’s sovereignty in salvation. Why did you accept Christ and your neighbor who heard the same message didn’t? Is it because you’re smarter than they are? Is it because you are inherently better than they...

Oh, bless your heart, all of the Westminster Standards and the Three Forms of Unity are heavily annotated with Scripture.

It is a betrayal, you are not wrong for thinking that. At this point, I would say he needs to transfer departments to completely remove this other woman from his life. Based on what he’s been telling her and the amount of time he spends with her, I don’t think that it will be conducive to...

Why wouldn’t she see her husband kissing another woman as a betrayal? It appears her suspicions were well founded as there is this developing relationship at work and he has been telling his colleague that they are talking about divorce and sleep in separate rooms which the OP says is not true.

Well, thanks for the input, everyone. Some good suggestions here that I’m going to implement. We’ll stop spanking him and try some other techniques. I’m going to make a table of penalties and maybe some type of reward system too, take food dyes out of his diet, and have a scheduled nap every...

You’re probably on to something there. I’ve been getting kind of disenchanted with the spankings as their effectiveness in prevention hasn’t been manifested to me yet. We did spank our daughter, but haven’t spanked her for probably a year because she’s so good all the time (she’s 4). I liked the...

Good idea, Dr. Jean, my wife and I will five isolated time outs a shot. I’ll also build a rudimentary table of penalties with him on my next off day. He’s definitely extremely intelligent. Does anybody think naps might be an issue too? Like a consistent nap at noon or something? We do it...

Wow, okay, I’m going to give that a shot and see what happens... my daughter is like basically an angel so I don’t think it affects her too bad, but we’ll see if it works with him.

Well, I guess I was thinking it was just a disciplinary method problem. But I am going to void food dyes from his diet starting tomorrow and see what happens after a week. Can you describe the difference in behavior that you observed?

I don’t think it’s a sensitivity to particular food items that causes it. It might be because we phased out consistent naps too early. But my goodness when he does take a nap every now and then, don’t make any plans for at least an hour after he wakes up because he is a nightmare.

I probably don’t give him enough credit, I mean he is a good boy most of the time and he is sweet. But the tantrums can overshadow it.

Hello, just wanted to post on here and get some thoughts and ideas. I have a 2 year old son that is just... mean. I mean he can be really sweet too, but it doesn’t take much to set him off. He will tell my wife and I that he doesn’t love us, when we tell him that we love him after disciplining...
