We Disagree On Punishment
Quote From: shanitI have a question is it right or fair for my husband to question in front of our son about why I'm punishing him in time out or if i smack his hand everytime no matter what he's always on top of why i'm punishing my son right in front of him it really p**ses me off bad but I just tell him to shut up dont question me. I know thats not the righ response but eric is one of these people that you cannot make him see your point no matter how obvious, he's very anal about everything and honestly I some times wish i new back then what I know about him now cause I would have probably made a different choice (been 15 long years now) but anyways going off track there, I want an opinion about this cause I dont think he should question me about this especially in front of our son.
Thanks
Shannon I agree that things like this should not be discussed in front of children as they are smart and will eventually play one parent against the other and that will make things worse. Disagreements need to be discussed in private and a solution worked out together, parenting really works better with two parents working together, it teaches the kids that respect is very imporant and that both parents are in charge and respect one another. And it teaches them that rules and boundaries are meant to be kept, not broken which has to be done/taught as a team.
