My fiance has 2 children. One is 9 and the other is 4. The 9 year old always whines when he doesn't get his own way. He even almost cries over it. I find it extremely annoying and told my fiance (not in the presence of his son) simply that he whines too much for his age. He yells at his dad when he doesn't get what he wants and does it in this whining and as I said sometimes almost crying voice. The 4 year old whines less. I like being honest with my fiance, so I told him this. He said he doesn't like that I am judging his son and he got very upset. I understand he is a parent and he feels he needs to protect his son, but he gives him pretty much everything he wants. He lets him sleep in the bed while I am left to sleep in a separate room when he is there and he even carries him to the bathroom in the middle of the night because he doesn't want to walk. He justifies doing this by saying their mother is very strict and he doesn't want to be too strict on them plus he only gets them a couple of days/week. For the way he acts for his age, was I wrong to tell him that he whines too much? What should I do? I am very annoyed by the situation. Thanks.
Jax's Mommy - I am trying to express to him how I feel to him. I do realize kids whine. I have been around young kids for as long as I can remember and I have NEVER heard one whine as much as his 9 year old does.
