[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two boys (10 and 13) prefer hanging out with me vs. my wife. I'm just as strict, but when it comes to getting them to do a chore or other unpleasant activity, I give commands (e.g., "no", "do the dishes, now please", "take out the trash") vs. my wife who goes on and on about everything (e.g., "now junior, that wasn't such a good idea was it? Don't do that or you'll cut off your hand", "you know, I've asked you 3 times to do the dishes today but you don't listen. If I have to ask you again, I'm going to get your father", "something smells, did you take out the trash?, Why not?, you really need to contribute more around the house, blah blah blah blah") [/quote] Oh my gosh, no wonder your kids prefer you. Even listening to your wife talk like that to someone else would drive me nuts. [/quote]
