[quote=Anonymous]I'm very persuasive with my kids, and having built a relationship of trust early on, they don't tend to knee-jerk away from my suggestions. My husband, on the other hand, tends to be stupidly authoritarian, which riles them up and makes them want to do the exact opposite of what he tells them to do! It's so frustrating when he just barges in with his hectoring, and they start to bristle, when I've spent multiple hours getting them to "yes"... exactly on the same topic! Essentially my husband sabotages my efforts. I always get there in the end, but if he contributes I have to do damage control after him and it's extra work. Sigh. [/quote]
