[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband is 1/2 the problem. Create a schedule or check list and tell him these tasks have to be done before electronic. Take electronic away, not food. If he doesn't go to his room or stay, the punishment starts over till he does.[/quote] The 6 year old is half the problem, DH is half the problem, and OP is half the problem. See the problem? DH taking the 6 year old is good parenting all around. It wasn't graceful but it was the right step. It's Friday, OP. Let it all go, and see about making this weekend relaxed and better. That doesn't mean punishing your DC into acting respectful. [/quote] Agreed. DH shouldn't have undermined, but I can't imagine that OP thought it would end well with those threats. That's basically telling "I dare you...." to your already emotional 6 yo, and being surprised they take you up on the dare. Escalating never works. [/quote]
