[quote=Anonymous]This sounds really frustrating but I don't think your kids will be ruined.

Most of your rules would be my ideal rules too (holding back on toys right before birthday/Christmas, enforcing threats, and not playing Roblox). I'd probably let the artificial dyes thing go, so long as they aren't eating slurpees right before dinner and ruining their appetites for healthy foods. But here's the thing: most of this is about enforcing good behavior right now, and not whether your kids will be permanently ruined. One of the positives here is that it sounds like they don't have their own phones, which would be far more destructive than playing Roblox on their dad's phone.

If you have behavior problems at your house, you need to sit down with your husband and come up with strategies to address those problems and work together as a team. My wife and I also struggle to be on the same page about discipline, but what I've done is try to gently coach her when she's having a problem getting the kids to behave, and we regularly talk about what's working and what's not working with both of our approaches. I could even see a world in which you compromise, and perhaps Roblox is a reward that the kids can earn for good behavior.[/quote]
