[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s backing you up. Better that than an oblivious and on-present parent. It also teaches the kids to respect both of you equally.[/quote] I'm sure this is what he's thinking. But in practice, it just makes things worse. He also often has the expectation that I back HIM up when he's talking to the kids, but I tend to let him handle things on his own 80% of the time unless he is really struggling.[/quote] What’s not working? Do the kids go upstairs after he orders them to or not? You want to spend another 10 minutes arguing back-and-forth with a tween, have at it.[/quote] First of all, these are elementary age kids. And yes they go up,[b] but they go up mad and grumpy and fired up ready to fight back all night.[/b][/quote] Yeah, you need to deal with that. [/quote]
