[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my DH feels strongly about a rule then I don't bend it without his ok. We both have things we're strict on - for me, homework must be done before screens. For DH, it's clutter in common areas. So while I don't care that my kid leaves his backpack on the dining room table overnight DH does, and so I enforce. One parent should not have to be the bad guy. If I think a rule of his is bad, or too much, or I don't want to enforce, we talk about it away from the kids and come to a decision that we uniformly present to the kids. For other rules that aren't our personal pet peeves we bend occasionally. Staying up a little late if we're having fun, a cookie for no reason - these are fun things that are fine, as long as it doesn't have a "don't tell Dad" vibe. That's not fair to DH or your kids.[/quote] THIS, THIS, ALL OF THIS, x1,000![/quote]
