[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need two things

1) a parenting class. Both of your styles suck. You can't be all of one and none of the other.

2) couples therapy

With those two things ... I think you'll be fine.[/quote]

+1.  It's a big problem that you aren't on the same page with parenting.  In fact, you aren't even in the same book.  Divorce isn't going to solve that problem.

I think it is a separate issue about him saying "you are a bad parent".  I would call him out on that and say WE have children together and WE need to come up with ways to help them make the right choices about behavior.  If the issue is that implementing the consequences fall completely on you because he is traveling, are there things that can help lighten the load for you and what can he do to support you when he isn't traveling?  My kids are pre-teens and the amount of disrespect can sometimes be breathtaking given how we were raised.  However, that craziness unites us rather than divides us and we try to figure out what will work.  I think sometimes the anger as a parent comes from a sense of powerlessness but when you feel like someone else understands you and you are both working together to change the situation, it can be calming.[/quote]
