[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it is hard to be married to another child.  I have seen DHs who undermine their wives entirely, even laughing when she gently corrects or disciplines the children.  It is immature and ridiculous.  If you can't be the parent, then you don't deserve to have kids.  I feel like telling those friends to divorce and take all the money.  No reason not to (in most cases, the money is the wives' families, anyway). [/quote]

Um this is OP, your description is spot on, including the money thing. I cringed when I read this. He does laugh sometimes. Also, it is no accident that my family and I have the money, we work harder. I never took this into consideration when we married. Never. 
My son is at an age where he is getting more and more out of control. He sees that he has a weak father (son will soon be much much bigger than his father). Already telling his sister (who tells me) that he plans to experiment with drugs. I have told my son that if he uses drugs we will separate as a family and that I will not support him through college. I tell him other things too, so please don't flame me. I do all the anti drug things that parents are supposed to do. But I guess my point is that drug use would be the straw to break my back. [/quote]

my spouse does nothing. Kids acting up, breaking things, whining, asking for too much - he just ignores it and wonders why they escalate and continue it. he usually caves in and does whatever they ask for. Been this way for 6 years now of kids. He refuses to do any parenting, zero goals for our kids.  He hates sports, has no hobbies, has no friends since we moved 10 years ago here. Bizarre.

weak and ineffective father. I recall him telling stories about how he, his mom and his brother would always ignore his father's crazy non-sensical things.  i work full-time so don't think I could "do everything on earth for the family" while towing a deadweight like she did. [/quote]
