Re: Spinoff...Who does the disciplining in your home?

We don't have kids yet...but I already know it'll be me. DH acts tough, but he's a huge softie with kids!

We both do but they take DH more seriously (because he's bigger).

My DH is obviously interested in "discussing" other more pressing things! Chat Icon

Re: Spinoff...Who does the disciplining in your home?

We both do. I think when only one parent is the disciplinarian, the kids don't take the other seriously.

Well I FORCED him to have the convo...I am afraid I will turn into my mother and I really don't want that...if he takes the role it will help our child have a bit better memories than I have.

Re: Spinoff...Who does the disciplining in your home?

We don't have children yet, but it will most likely be me doing the disciplining...it's how I was raised - with mom being the disciplinarian, and dad being the "easy way out."

Re: Spinoff...Who does the disciplining in your home?

It will most likely be me because DH will say to our future kids "don't ask me, ask your mother" Besides he does not like confrontation and would rather give in.

Re: Spinoff...Who does the disciplining in your home?

Hmmm...that's a tough one. I would probably say me. DH's daughter from his first marriage lives with us...and while we will agree up front on the dicipline....I will make sure it sticks and he will let her slide.

For example...if we say no TV for a week...I mean no TV for a week...but by Wednesday, DH is saying we should give in and let her watch some TV. If I'm home...it won't happen...but if I'm at work and he's home...I know he's going to give in Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Spinoff...Who does the disciplining in your home?

being a SAHM I'm usually the one who does... my DH tries, but the kids always look to me for the final answerChat Icon I know it hurts him a little, but they are home with me ALL day long, of course they look to me
ETA - but at the same time I sometimes let things slide because I have to pick my battles Chat Icon

Re: Spinoff...Who does the disciplining in your home?

Not that we really can do much discipling at this point (He's only 10 months), but DH and I do it pretty evenly, even though at this point, it's stopping him from crawling where he's not supposed to or grabbing what he's not supposed to.
