As a young parent I agreed 100% with my now Ex that kids needed

to know who was boss all the time.  We looked at my sisters girl

and sadly reflected that the poor kid was doomed because she was

allowed to use a pacifier and she was THREE..lol.  We also knew

exactly how a marriage stayed strong and stable.  We "knew" a heck of alot!


After two easy child's we had our first difficult child and common sense told me

that everything could not be designated as an "A" issue.  Ex thoroughly believed (and still does 40 years later) that "giving

in" was a sign of weak parenting.


In answer to your question?  Yes, learning to sort through issues

is difficult.  Yes, I also believe it is necessary.  Ex still believes the belt would have solved all the problems. Not! DDD
