[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Gambit]You never heard of "Good cop, bad cop"?
DW is the good cop. I'm the bad cop. I'm the one that does the disciplining.

During one particularly troublesome morning, DS caught himself a thorough spanking.  The next day, he was a perfect little angel.  On the ride to school, he said to DW "Mommy, you're the good cop"
DW asked, "oh, and who is daddy?"
DS said "daddy is the bad cop."

I guess he heard us talking about good cop, bad cop.[/quote]

So DS was having a tricky morning, you hit him, and the next day he's an angel. Do you feel good that using violence and beating your child made him behave better? If my husband hit me, I'd certainly stop doing whatever it was that annoyed him so that he wouldn't hit me again - but I could also report that to the police as that is domestic abuse.And I'd also hate him for humiliating me and harming me, just because he's bigger and stronger than I am. Are you pleased that your son sees you as the bad cop? That you are the one that hits when he does something you don't like? How sad that your kid will now think that people hit as a way of telling someone to quit doing something.[/quote]

How would you feel if your DH took away your phone and told you that you could earn it back by being better-behaved with him, and he would give you a sticker each time he approved of your behavior? Would this be appropriate in your marriage?[/quote]
