I may have spoken to a few of you about this before but it drives me nutty!!! DH literally lets my 4 year old DD do anything she wants. BH she is a good girl but lately he has been letting her stay up late (she wasn't feeling well the past few days and her sleep schedule was messed up) and he lets her stay up late. We had a rule that she was only allowed to play her special game (it's a color and numbers game) on my computer (with one of us there) for only 15 minutes every other day, and I found out he's been letting her do it for AN HOUR when I am out of the house! It might be my hormones talking but I am frustrated Sad

advice???

What does he say when you talk to him about it?

He says I'm being mean. Crying or Very sad

It's perfectly ok for there to be a strict parent and a lenient one. As long as DH let's her know that these are special treats abba is allowing for good behavior, and u always present a united front to DD. U can just say, you are being so good, I'm sure abba will reward you later. It only becomes a problem if these things affect her behavior or health

Thanks for the advice Smile

It's worse than that though, when we decide together that she should only have 15 minutes of the computer game and he lets her do more when she begs him (I can just hear her...) and he really lets her do and have whatever she wants...toys, games, sweets, anything. It's hard to talk about with him because he just says "No I'm not, you're just being MEAN," which hurts my feelings
