We were all too embarrassed to say anything, but Jeremy slammed the table. "Emma, how are you raising this child? This is such bad behavior; he's going to suffer for it later!"
Emma finally looked a bit awkward. "James has been spoiled by his grandparents. I can't control him; he was quite well-behaved in kindergarten back in town, but now, there's just no discipline."
Jeremy looked disgusted. "I'll find him a kindergarten soon, and in the meantime, I'll take some time after work each day to teach him properly; this is unacceptable!"
From that day on, Jeremy's first action upon coming home was no longer to kiss and hug Nina or read storybooks with her.
Instead, he took out the early childhood education materials and behavioral habit books he had meticulously prepared during the day to teach James.
But this child was simply not bright; even simple knowledge had to be repeated many times before he grasped it.
Our home, which used to be filled with laughter and joy, was now replaced by Jeremy's harsh reprimands aimed at James.
Emma kept bustling in and out of the study, busy with chores.
If I assigned her anything, she would ignore me, focusing entirely on Jeremy and James.
