[QUOTE="Shari, post: 333081, member: 1848"] And really, not much has changed. Started with loudly arguing that he [I]did[/I] do what I asked with easy child on Sunday and that he was gonna tell her we were done with her schoolwork; if she fails she fails. I told him the real issue here wasn't really much to do with easy child 2...but he didn't get it. So I turned the tables. I said "what if I told wee to clean his guinea pig cage and he didn't, and I had to leave, so I asked you to handle it...what would you do?" He said he'd ask wee if he did it, then check the cage if wee said he did, or make him if wee said he didn't. I said ok, then...why does your daughter live by a different set of rules. And he yelled some more that she doesn't. I saiid yes, she does. I told you whaht she did, you asked her if she did it, she said no, you said done deal. I finally got him to at least agree that I shouldn't [I]have[/I] to ask him to enforce household rules with his daughter. And he finally admitted that, had I not continued to bother him about it, he probably wouldn't have done anything. I pointed out several other instances of the same...like when she didn't go to the teacher's room when he took her to school early and claimed husband didn't tell her to and I told her she needed to apologize to him. Had I left it to him, she wouldn't have, and he agreed, he probably wouldn't have pushed it. As it was, I pushed him at 10pm and he finally told her he expected an apology. Or why wee has to hang up his coat, but why she is allowed to leave hers on the living room couch without a word...etc etc But, the conversation ended with Witz's grand finale...nothing. A very dejected husband got up and walked out. So who knows. [/QUOTE]
