I didn't say he was learning this at home. I mentioned it here because I suspected it.
I stressed to DCM he is really a great little boy, but we had an issue. I explained what happened & she said he visited his father for the first time in awhile this past weekend.
Today, as I was playing with the all the boys, he wanted a toy another child had. He yelled at him & swatted him right in front of me. I removed him from the playroom, set him on the couch & went into my hitting is NEVER acceptable talk with him. He asked if I had to tell him mommy cause she wasn't going to like it very much.
