[quote=Anonymous]My DHis the Disneyland Dad.  Not as bad as you describe, but the rules on screens and fun time are definitely more lax when he has the kids.  I say just embrace it.  My DH got the kids laptops, phones, iPads, gets them whatever clothes they want etc. I think his ex has realized that it’s actually a pretty good deal bc she doesn’t have to buy all that stuff.  We always go to  nice restaurants with them, whereas she rarely does. Of course, we are broke and she has a nice retirement nest egg! So just work it for what you can.  Kids know the deal.  They know different rules apply differently.  Bio mom instills no discipline and allows plenty of back talk.  But the kids NEVER back talk DH or misbehave at our house. DH is also really lax about things like boyfriends and going to parties.  But mom is really strict about it.  Anyway, they are almost fully grown and out of the house and I think they really do benefit from the good things their mom and dad instilled in them, and they learn that the indulgent stuff is the exception not the rule.  I feel you but let the comments roll off- your kids will appreciate the good stuff you instilled in them.  [/quote]
