Hi Danger and Lou!! My wife and I are coming to grips with our different parenting styles…and it’s clearly going to become a problem. She insists that she should be the “disciplinarian” because she’s not as “intimidating” as she thinks I can be. By “intimidating,” I think she’s referring to the fact that when I count to “three,” I say “one, two, three.” I don’t say, “two-and-a-quarter,” two-and-a-half, two-and-three-quarters,” etc. The kids are learning that if they act sorry and play up fake remorse they can get out of whatever punishment she assigns, and I hear them laughing about it. I don’t want to raise a couple of manipulative a-holes, but that’s where I fear we’re heading. Can I hear from those of you with more experience than me on this one? P.S. I really love listening to you guys every morning! (email your situation to: listeners@957thebeatfm.com)
