What would you do...?
If your husband bitches and complains(when he’s in a bad mood) - you’re raising millennials (yet he is technically a millennial himself...).
So... my husband is barely around between work, laying his ass on the couch or working on his car or out with friends.
My kids with me - I do all the hard parenting. I don’t let my kids have whatever they want, they’re respectful for their ages. But they’re 2&4 and have their moments. They listen to me, they don’t give me shit and if they do it gets shut down quickly with a time out or a toy taken away. They also earn their toys or nighttime snack with good behavior. I rarely yell because I found yelling truly doesn’t work when you want a child to listen, it only works when you need to get their attention after calling their name or asking them to do said task 5-6 times.
My kids with my husband - they argue back with him, yell at him, don’t listen - etc. (and I have to step in to basically break up an argument between a 32 yr old man and a 2&4 year old 🙄) and his style of parenting - he says something once, expects a 2&4 yr old to listen the first time and if they don’t he gets mad and yells. He also is always on his phone and his kids have to say his name about 5-6 times BEFORE I say - hey they’re talking to you( bc he isn’t paying attention). He then also loves to pull the “they’re my kids too” but he literally doesn’t do anything in regards to parenting, or discipline, or taking care of them when they’re sick, or tricking them to and from daycare or doctors appointments or just daily life activities that is required when having children. It falls on me 98% and then some. So in the end he gets all pissy because my kids listening skills aren’t he same as when they’re with me. And I do back up my husband (even at times when I think he is wrong) and explain to my daughter that both of us are the rule makers. Would you not be just a LITTLE irritated, if because your kids didn’t listen to him (but they listen to you) that you’re raising entitled spoiled brats (oh they also hear
Him say all the time that he is 32 years old and no one is going to tell him what he can and cannot do (which... I never do - I actually never say anything to him about him not being around bc I’m not going to force someone to sit around and be miserable) ) ? 😑 I love my husband but I do get frustrated when I’m 36 weeks pregnant and trying the best I can -literally by myself and raising our kids the best way I think I can so they don’t turn into spoiled brats. I want them to understand you earn things by working hard and by also showing respect to people.
