Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
Depends on the day and who has had more sleep Usually by the end of a full day alone with DS, my patience is done and then DH comes home and it is his turn

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
I think dh but I think alot has to do with the fact that he spends less time with them and he just has more tolerance for the whining.

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
DH, hands down. BUT that is bc he is not with them a quarter of the time that I am. He is like the fun uncle who comes over and hour or so and throws the kids around.
But I must say, even on the rare days that he does have them ALL day, he is still more patient.

Me. Which was very unexpected. I am much more uptight than DH when it comes to just about everything...except DD.

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
Probably DH. But I assume that is because I am home with 3 kids all day every day where as DH works 60 hours a week. I think he tries harder at having more patience since he is with them so much less.

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
Hands down me. I think the big part of it is that I grew up around kids and DH had none around him. He only has so much patience and lets every little thing get to him. At 2, DD is whiny and bratty and can scream her head off as if she were being hacked alive and I can just tune out...DH on the other hand is on the verge of a heart attack after 5 minutes.

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
Depends on the day and the issue
Some days he does- other days I do
Also- there are certain things she does that he freaks out about- where I am like, no biggie
And vice versa

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
To answer my own question I definitely have more patience than DH. When we just had one child DH had patience but now we have two he seems to have less and less. I think because I am with them all day I am more used to the whining and fighting and can tune it out to some extent whereas to him its like nails on a chalkboard. I know when I need to get involved in an argument between DD and DS as I know them inside out and know how they will react to a situation whereas DH wants to jump in straight away without letting them try to resolve it themselves.
I definitely have gained a ton of patience since having kids and kind of surprised myself at how must patience I am able to tap into .....DH on the other hand is usually the laid back one so his lack of patience has surprised both of us!
He definitely would not be cut out to be a SAHD...

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
him
Him
HIM!
I have a very low tolerance for B.S. I have a very clear tendency to make her understand her whining, lying or exaggerating is not tolerated.
My fuse is much shorter.
He defers to me so he's been the cool one mostly.
However now that I have this second job - HE's finding himself a little stressed by her. So when I am home with her I take her on more and push myself to be patient. When he's home with her he's learning to stick to rules and push her more. So Ironically this 2nd job is helping the whole family! lol
ETA: ironically, I've always been around kids so my patience is less. He lets her get away with more and lets her walk over him more. Me I know the level of B.S. she can have before it gets stupid and I shut it down. To be fair, she's a great kid and generally we don't have issues. but when we do, I'm the iron fist of discipline. Some people think I'm a little hard on her for small stuff. I see those things as growing issues. Other stuff she's got free reign so those same folks are confused. I don't care that she doesnt say ma'am and sir every time, but she will NOT scream at, hit or ignore an elder. *shrug*
I just can't handle whining and useless temper. She goes on and on and I toss her (figuratively) into her room. I'm done. Him, he'll let her vent longer. I HATE it!!

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
Dh. I have ZERO patience for pretty much anything. I think also because Im with ds ALL day every day, my tolerence level is done by 5 and I am just plain not in the mood to bargin, bribe or put up with anything.

Re: Who has more patience with your kids..
Depnds on the day and situation. When she was a newborn/infant I was clearly the more patient one but now we take turns and step in when we see the other getting frustrated.
