Stand your ground! Someone has to put their foot down. Dads thrive on letting their girls rule the world.. he’s PROUD of that as he should be. Every father wants a daughter that he knows isn’t going to be easy to get over on. It’s your job as mom to stand your ground and stay persistent with what you need her to do.
@LeKenya that's actually a really good way of going about it. Thank you for that perspective. I just get upset when he reprimands me or questions me in front of her because it seems like they are both ganging up on me
I don’t think you’re wrong or right. I think it’s going to be based on situation to situation. You have to remember they are kids and they are going to do things you’re not going to like but your husband does need to back you up as y’all are partners. So maybe there is some type of middle ground, he may see it as you’re too uptight and you see it as he’s not uptight enough. It’s hard to know cause we don’t live your day to day life so don’t know the situations.
@Nikki I was (we, actually) raised with spankings. Thankfully, we don't do corporal punishment, so I rely on being more assertive than anything else because otherwise, she literally won't listen
I understand but even being assertive sometimes it can be too much for a kid. I do time out over spankings but there are times my husband will call me out and say I need to be nicer to my son but I do these same to my husband if I feel like he’s being too tough on him. They’re just kids and innocent and not trying to do harm. So sometimes our frustrations can come out as being more assertive than what is meant to be.
unless someone is getting hurt, he doesn't discipline much*
