We're both 24 and our son is 5. While I myself am not big into laundry lists of rules for him, just basic " clean your room, brush your teeth" stuff, she on the other hand is the " no rules, all play, friend first" parent. We share custody. For example, there will be times where she'll drop him off at my place while he's beyond jacked up on sugar. When he gets angry with me he'll tell me about how much he misses Mom & wishes he were with her because she's " more fun".Her entire reasoning for being the " cool" parent is because she doesn't like seeing him mad or upset, so she doesn't punish him. I've tried explaining to her that her parenting style is not sufficient and that when he says " I hate you" he doesn't mean in so she shouldn't be afraid to put her foot down.She'll turn around and criticize me like I'm being harsh. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2KCGyZs
