[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ That's good advice and so is the one someone has posted on DCUM before >> QTIP = Quit Taking it Personally.

The part that frustrates me is my DS who could be getting better grades if he'd get himself organized. This has been an ongoing battle for 3+ years and it's tiring.  Waiting for executive functioning to kick in.[/quote]

I like this advice and the "be a little deaf".  My oldest is 13 and so far so good between him and me because I tend to follow that approach but DH tends to (IMO) overreact to every little thing so the conflict between the two of them drives me crazy and I see it getting a lot worse before he makes it through the teen years.   I keep trying to gently encourage DH to back off but it isn't having much impact so far.  [/quote]

I have no idea if this is true, but I read somewhere that it can be good for kids to have parents with different discipline styles.  The kids learn to vary their behavior depending on which parent they are interacting with, which can be helpful for navigating relationships when they are on their own.  I like this idea given that my husband sounds a lot like yours.[/quote]
