[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like PP states, it’s the ignoring of an explicit instruction while on duty that is the problem and potential trust issue. What’s next and how far do you think it could go? AP suddenly decides that the “no alcohol for kids” rules don’t apply to him and he drinks on duty?

In addition, AP was a terrible role model for the kid that knew better. Honestly, I’d have a serious trust issue on whether AP ever followed the screen limit rules during the entire time.

Tell AP that they’re on notice and see if their behavior gets better or worse. If worse or nothing changes, rematch.[/quote]

OP is right that it's completely beside the point that her kids are allowed to watch TV at other times.  The problem here is that AP ignored explicit instructions and set a bad example for the kids, who knew they weren't supposed to be watching.

OP, I'd be really steamed about this too, but it seems like overkill to rematch over one error unless you have been having other problems.  I'd just convey how serious you are about this and rematch only if this becomes a repeat issue.
