This is so the way it is at my house too. If I didn’t discipline and play tough mommy, all hell would break loose. Sometimes, I have to ask myself what the men are actually there for anyway. Still not sure.

Oh My Darling, is he wishing they were boys? He doesn’t have to stand in the grocery line when she blurts out “Give me some of that DAMN candy!”.

I feel your pain. I do.

Next time you are in public with J, do something TOTALLY shameful for him. I mean, embarass the SHIT out of him! Let him grovel, hell, let him get mad!

then pause and say “Now you know how I feel when you teach the girls embarassing shit!”

I personally feel that teaching by example when it comes to the male species is pertinant.

Isn’t it always that way? I think it’s a myth that dads are ever the disciplinarian in the family. My mom still tells tales of hearing my Meme rattle the canisters (where she hid the paddle) and they would all go running because someone was in trouble!
Love your blog, I’m a new subscriber!

OMG! I can so relate!!! I get the kids all calm and ready for bed and then my husband decided its the perfect time to wrestle and act like a total boy. I think they are missing the normal gene?!

I agree w/ the going away part. Instead of a weekend, make it a week. Four or five days that just so happen to include school days. Guys like to have fun, however painting you as the bad guy is not okay. He only does that because he knows that you’ll be there to make sure everything and everyone is alright. Once he’s forced with having to deal with the mess and bad habits he helped create in public and on a regular basis, he’ll probably be more proactive.
Note: In order to maintain effectiveness, retreats, vacations, sabbaticals, etc., will need to be taken at least once or twice a year.

My parents never used we and my dad was also the fun guy while my mom was the downer. The real problem of the situation is not the actual issue at hand today; rather, it teaches the kid that each parent is on a different team. As my sisters and I grew older, we would pit one parent against the other to get our way. This led to a lot of tension in all our lives. Band together!

My husband used to make me absolutely crazy with how he wouldn’t do a thing until about 15 minutes before bedtime then all the sudden it was time to start chasing the kids around, wrestling, or starting some kind of obnoxious Nerf gun battle.

What is their problem? I feel your pain.
