[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 23980, member: 1991"] Marg's Man here I may touch on some nerves here, but here is my humble opinion. It doesn't touch on my nerves but it takes a VERY strong bloke to step back from the more authoritarian style of parenting that most men seem to have been brought up with. My own father and Marg's were strict but loving men who, nevertheless, expected their families to say "How high?" whenever they said "Jump!" It's been a long hard road for me to learn when I should back off and when I need to hold my ground. I STILL it wrong a lot of the time. The other thing that's really important is for you BOTH to be on the same page with managing Jake. I freely admit that I don't read as much as I should about the techniques I need to help Marg but I DO listen to her. I don't know what else to say except possibly to show this to Joey and let him that there ARE Dads out here who also have to cope with these problems. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
