[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe DH is extra nice because he is compensating for mom yelling. Also if mom is yelling then dad stepping in is protecting his children not undermining mom. They need to have one adult who sticks up for them and shows them that they won't let them be yelled at.

Being extra nice doesn't mean letting your kids do things that are bad for them. How is it protecting them to let them watch spend so much time playing video games that they fall apart? that's not very nice.[/quote]

By protecting them - I meant what mom is interpreting as undermining them. Maybe is is voicing disapproval when she is yelling. Just like when one speaks up if dad is yelling at the kids - it is protective in that it gives the kids the message that you will speak up for them, that they shouldn't be treated this way.

I don't think that giving them junk or no rules is good but that often happens when one parent is very strict, authoritarian and yells - the other parent becomes quite soft as they feel bad for the kid. [/quote]
