[QUOTE="keista, post: 471730, member: 11965"] Yes you do, but that doesn't always mean that you BOTH have to be saying/dealing with the same thing. You just need to back each other up. husband shouldn't/can't be making comments that would undermine your work. If difficult child comes to him, simply saying, "well your mother said X, Y, Z so that's the way it is" can be sufficient. That way he's NOT really dealing with it, but still backing you up. If instead, he says "I think your mother is wrong" but offers NO constructive input, then he's not just not dealing with it, he's undermining all your work - two negatives going on there. So, you give husband the "easy out" of just verbally backing you up (even silence in a particular matter counts), in exchange for a few chores. Besides, men are more task oriented. [/QUOTE]
