Comment on Is your Child Jealous? by Parent Expert

Parent Expert — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:24:41 +0000

Your son feels he is losing his space and quality time with you, he is afraid your boyfriend is taking his place.

Your son needs to understand that he does not have to make place to your friend because your friend will not have the same place as your son. And it is also for your boyfriend to take his place, of friend.

Your son does not have anything to say, on this choice. If your son prevents you from making your life, he will be upset with him all his life. What power or capacity are you giving your son, is it too big or too important for him?

By taking your freedom, you authorize also your son to take his freedom, and to make his life.

I have a 6 year old son, who is a good child. However, I have been dating my boyfriend, who is not his father, for about two years now. At first he was very reluctant to open up in front of him. However, as we spent more time all together my son warmed up to my boyfriend and everything seemed to be going okay. Over the past few months i have noticed my son becomes extremly jealous when he comes around. My son will sit in the corner and cry or lay on the floor when we cuddle to watch a movie. I do not exclude my son; I tell him to come lay with me, but this makes him more upset. 95% of the time I ask my boyfriend to excuse himself.. Is there something else I can do to keep my son happy and still spend time with my boyfriend?

Can children choose which parent they want to live with if their parents separate or divorce?
No, children do not generally get to choose which parent they live with if their parents separate or divorce. The parents can agree on which one of them their children will live with and how often each parent will see their children. The parents may decide not to consult the children or anyone else when they make these decisions. Or the parents may talk to the children, social workers, lawyers, counselors, or other professionals. If the parents make an agreement that their children are not happy with, the children can talk to the parents about it, but it’s still the parents’ decision.

Hi Parent Expert, Good point! Parenting guides are sometimes the only thing you can turn to these days of nuclear parenting. Best thing is you don’t have to log on to read, just grab a book and a hot cup.

Thank you for highlighting parental alienation in your post. Educating parents, legal and mental health professionals about this destructive family dynamic is the first step towards helping children and parents avoid alienation.
