[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. An example would be at bedtime, getting her ready for bed. Recently she has not been wanting to put on pajamas.

If it’s me, and she says “I don’t want to wear jammies, I want to sleep in my underwear,” I say, “ok it’s up to you but you might get cold. Are you ok with that?” And she’ll say yes and I’ll let her sleep in her underwear because who cares? The thing that matters is that she’s going to bed on schedule. Maybe I put an extra blanket on her bed just in case.

But my husband will go ten rounds on the pajamas and then get frustrated if she doesn’t agree, and by then her bedtime has passed and she’s in such a mood that it’s impossible to get her teeth brushed. Everything is a drama.

I have found that the important rules, I have to hold firm and she will abide by them. But all the other stuff? As long as it’s safe and not a massive inconvenience to me, I just don’t argue it. But my husband will argue anything with her no matter how minuscule.[/quote]

He needs pep classes.  You're totally on the right track.[/quote]
