David F. replied to Paul Rone's discussion Parenting advice needed - evidently, I'm doing it wrong..."Yep, it is a family by family thing. The key here is that the parents need to be on the same level. It sounds like for the OP they never discussed this out explicitly

Jack Bauer replied to Paul Rone's discussion Parenting advice needed - evidently, I'm doing it wrong..."I'm actually fine with the "wait 'till dad gets home" thing. My wife handles day-to-day discipline most of the time, and I back her up. I'm threatened for major infractions and punsihment with extreme…"
David F. replied to Paul Rone's discussion Parenting advice needed - evidently, I'm doing it wrong..."Sounds like you are doing well. There are always other views from other people based on their ideas. Add to the mix children feeling out their boundaries and such and it gets hard.

Carl Monster replied to Paul Rone's discussion Parenting advice needed - evidently, I'm doing it wrong..."Don't let a 15 year old give you feedback on your parenting skills. I don't care how responsible she is. She's fifteen. And of course your son is going to think you give her preferential treatment if she's the "good"…"
Margie replied to Paul Rone's discussion Parenting advice needed - evidently, I'm doing it wrong..."Has your wife always been essentially absent in regard to disciplining the kids, or is this a more recent development?

"Paul, there's some really good advice here. One question i would raise is your wife's parenting strategy during non-crisis events. Is she consistent with your approach, or is she eroding your stand?
If your wife does not agree…"
"Amen!"
Kit the Odd replied to Paul Rone's discussion Parenting advice needed - evidently, I'm doing it wrong..."The question on whether you are failing or not depends on the criteria for success.

Anyone out there know of articles on how to use this site most efficiently? I don't see any sort of FAQ or tutorials.As an example, I noticed that there are a few guys on here that are very good at keeping up with many conversations, and I'd love to here your tricks.
