[quote=Anonymous]I think you just accept that you will always be the bad cop in your family. Your DH will undermine you but you’re also underestimating how much influence you have as their mother. Make them clean their rooms, shower, do laundry etc. If your DH steps in and does their laundry once or twice, let it go. Point is, YOU never do it. If they say “DAd always lets me xyz...” Just smile and let it roll off your back. Shrug and say “I’m not Dad.” Would this be a lot easier with a supportive partner? Yes, absolutely. But it’s a lot easier than being divorced. If you divorce, your DH would probably tell the kids the divorce was to protect them from you. Given the dynamic you describe, it’s very likely the kids would believe him until they get much older and more mature. [/quote]
