[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do not see eye to eye on discipline.

I am actually more strict but more respectful and sympathetic towards toddler tantrums.

I tell him I know he’s upset but continue to enforce boundaries. I hug him but don’t give in to his requests and don’t pay attention if he bangs his head (without hurting, etc.). As a result he’s never had a tantrum longer than 2 mins with me.

DH tries to ignore him and not hug him but just sits next to him but freaks out if he bangs his head etc and shows that.

As a result, our toddler has tantrums of up to 30 mins with him.

However DH does not want to follow what I suggested because he says he knows better and he’s not going to obey me.

Will this damage the toddler in the long-run?

OP, you have different parenting styles. You're more right here but your DH needs to learn that on his own.

Stay out of it and let him handle it. It won't confuse the child, who has already figured out that he needs to behave differently with mommy than with daddy.[/quote]
