[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I am guilty of about 75% of these things....[/quote]

Same.  Letting them be picky about food and feeding the same things over and over bc it's annoying to make something they don't eat, not forcing the issue of making their Dad speak to them in Spanish (he's a native speaker), not making them do chores bc it's easier to do them myself, too much screen time bc I need to work on the weekends sometimes.  Oh and I haven't put them into swim lessons even though I meant to for the past year.

But I love them a lot and I make sure they know it.  *shrug*

Also sometimes I express annoyance at their dad in front of them.  I REALLY need to stop that, I truly believe adult conversations should be in private and you should always be a united front for the kids.  I'm not going to do that anymore.  Hold me to it DCUM![/quote]

Adult conversations about weighty topics should absolutely be behind closed doors. But I don’t see the harm in two parents occasionally getting annoyed with each other in front of the kids and then resolving it. For one thing, it models conflict resolution skills.[/quote]
