Any other mom out there have the same issue? The Internet is full of advice / posts / forums re: kids acting out around mom and being saints around dad, but in our house it's always been the opposite. I'm definitely a much stricter parent, so my guess is that my son misbehaves around his dad (my hubby) because he feels he can get away with it -- even if dad subsequently tries to be "strict" (for example, putting our son in time-out). It's gotten to the point where our son is an angel with me when we're home alone, and within minutes of my husband coming home from work, the whining, crying, screaming, and tantrums predictably start up over complete non-issues.Of note, we are both employed full-time, so it's not like our son spends more time with one parent. Also, my husband is an extremely caring, loving, and patient father, so of course our son's behavior really drags on him and makes him feel terrible.Any advice about how to turn this around, other than [gently] reminding my husband not to be a pushover the times that this still occurs? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/36wyy34
