I am glad you are open to trying new ways.  It is almost essential with a difficult child.  Even if you find something that works - it might only work for 2 months.  It is a constant re-evaluation process.  It really kinda stinks!


Be sure to know that I in no way said what husband does is correct.  It is different than what you are trying right now.  It seems to get a better reaction from difficult child.  Again, that could end tomorrow.


You already know that what you really need to do is get husband and you doing the same thing - every time.  I think it will be easier to tell husband you will try his way first, but you could create a new way that you both can agree to try first - pick a time frame and then evaluate what is working and what is not.   It is not traditional parenting that is for sure. Hence the reason we all searched out the site - nothing we were doing was working.
