[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So have you said to him calmly, "I feel undermined and set up to be the mean parent when you criticize me in front of the children. [b]I don't think that is your intention[/b]. However it is the result. My hope is that we can be a team. Can we sit down and come up with some expectations around bedtimes, screen time and snacks that we can both communicate with the kids? I don't feel like I'm being the best mom I can be, and I need your help. Can we talk?" [/quote] Sure it is. You don't have to explain it to him because he already knows exactly what he's doing. They're kids -- they're easy to win over with soda and tv. You should tell your kids, "I love you too much to let you watch tv all day or drink soda with your lunch" or whatever (as long as you do sometimes let them have the things they want). I'm sure hey appreciate on some level that you are the one doing the real parenting.[/quote]
