[quote=Anonymous][quote]Like, if you tell the kid to take the trash out and they keep stonewalling or blowing you off you can’t take it out for them! And you need to give them a consequence! He’s teaching the kids to disrespect & basically ignores his authority.
It’s at the point where my DS, who is a solidly good kid, came to me upset, saying he basically doesn’t respect DH, that he thinks DH is a “big dope”.[/quote]

I actually don’t think your son Is a good kid. Good kids are respectful to their parents and your is not. And I think you need to own your part - sounds like you’re starting to understand you have responsibility for this dynamic too.

If this happened in my family. And it does on occasion in most, the other parent would step in.

And it sounds like you’ve taken over parenting and leave your DH a few morsels to take care of and then criticize or intervene and do something different. I’d hate to parent with someone who does this.

Final thought is this. In a marriage there are a lot of things to take care of. You don’t think your husband does enough parenting (but you undermine maker he does). But I bet there’s a list of things where you don’t do your share. [/quote]
