[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As stated before, have a convo with DW. As the kid ges older, they will learn to manipulate you two against each other for their own gain. Teenagers are not nice people and they will only drive you two further apart if there are chinks in your armor. Fix them before they become gaping holes.[/quote] Oh absolutely. And they are great at identifying rifts or differences in opinion that exists between parents. DH and I are constantly doing grocery runs together, so that we can have private conversations in the car regarding our kids (away from prying ears). Infact that is our code that means that we need to discuss the kids. Every night is a debriefing for the both of us about what is going on with the kids. If one person is the softie (my DH!) and the other is more strict (me) - then also agree that who has the final say (me- because I am privy to the minutia of the DCs lives much more than DH is - I usually know the back story!) In the end - parents who are united and have set the boundaries are essential for the emotional health and growth of the kids. You owe it to your kids to raise them to have EQ and boundaries and you owe it to yourself to have a strong marriage via a strong parenting partnership. [/quote]
