Quote From: dottieh He maybe shouldnt parent but he sure could back you up. My Husband referred to me as the policeman but he is the warden. I arrest and convict and he enforces. Its a nice set up but you do have to be firm. But there is no reason why your husband cannot demand that his wife be treated with respect and enforce the rules you set down. This child has no rules, as the attitude is "I only have her every two weeks and on holidays and do not want to spend my time disaplining her, I would rather spend the time doing things with her." She actually makes him stay in the same room with her constantly, she stands outside the bathroom door when he is in the bathroom and screams "Dad get out here." I watched her the other night at bed time say to her father, "That is not the right pillow, I want the other one go get it, I want my stuffed animals and hurry up." He went and did it all.
