[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I often argue about how to parent our 14 year old son. IMO my husband is reactive and angry way to quickly and way too often. Other times he is just vacant and doesn't really parent/get involved at all even if he is in the same room when poor behaviour or backtalk is happening. He thinks I am too easy on DS (I may be) and that I should blindly back up his crappy behaviour, which I would never want my son to mimic. But I simply won't condone DH's crappyness. My son is a teen, and yes, sometimes is crappy also. But usually is not. Anyway I think we need a parenting coach or something because we do not agree on how to handle things at all. Has anyone tried this with success? Any recs on where to start? I hate my husband and son's relationship and it makes me sad for both of them...I would really like for it to turn around. Help.[/quote]

Could have written this myself. OP, you're not alone. Unless he wants to reflect on his behavior and work on being better no amount of coaching will help.[/quote]
