Heartbreaker can have a double meaning, and my son has decided to work both sides. One night while watching a live band play, he stole the heart of every woman in the room by cutting in and stealing away a woman from her partner on the dance floor.. And at preschool he tells me he has FOUR girlfriends who love him, but at home the terrible threes have hit him hard, and his stubborness has taken to hurting my feelings when he doesn't get what he wants. It's incredible when as a mom you know that your kids don't really mean what they say, but can't stop yourself from crying or feeling your heartbreak when they say they don't love you and don't want to live with you anymore. Where did he learn this behavior, and what can I do to stop it? I tell him it doesn't matter that he doesn't love me, I love him anyway, and he gets even madder. The other day he head-butted me because he was throwing a fit about having to leave papa's house and I have a huge bruise on my chin.
This boy can seriously turn on the charm and pull heartstrings like nobody I have ever seen before, but he can rip the heart right out of my chest with three words.... He's going to cause serious trouble to the poor teenage girls in a few short years!
You can send him for a weekend with mean uncle Andy. He'll be begging to come back home. If Dewey is scared of the earflick it should work on David too.
