I don't have much advice on how to deal with you DH. What about family councling? Where you could sit down with someone else and make a parenting plan.
My Dh and I don't always see eye to eye on things with the kids...I am the strick one and he is the easy going one.
A parent should never take a childs side in front of the child!! This is for behind closed doors. Even if you have to drag your DH into a bedroom or bathroom to talk privately. You have to be a united front, even if you don't agree at the moment.
As far as dealing with your DD's talking back. It is a normal stage, but that doesn't make it right. If my DD talks with disrespect, the first time she gets a warning. The second time, she looses priviledges for the rest of the day. If it happens a third time in one day, she has to go to her room until the next morning. There have been times where she has gone weeks without TV, computer, cell phone, ipod, etc.
** Remember this too will pass...just like all the other stages!! |
