  • I am. If you do not give your children boundaries and enforce them you are not really giving them what they need.

    As a parent you have to decide if what you do is to make you feel better or to make the better people

  • dh would probably say me..but in reality, ds isn't restricted much at all. i just get testy and impatient.
    dh does, too..but a lot less.

  • I think we both agree on what's inappropriate behavior, but our way of enforcing it is different. I will be more likely to become impatient with it and go to a time out whereas my husband is more likely to try and kid them out of a bad mood or distract with humor.

  • We are both pretty "strict". Some days I am the strict one, and some days its him.

  • I am, my ex lets him have pretty much whatever he wants. He is only strict when it comes to respecting other people. Other than that DS rules over there.
