So my son 3 yrs old, took some candy off the kitchen bar n took off with his sister, 4yrs old. My boyfriend n I r in…

I just felt that it wasnt necessary n I left it alone. He always says I'm too easy on them n both of us need to discipline the same way. N I disagree. He says he would like to be the save the day parent or have the kids run for him when I discipline.

Them being so young they’re just getting the ability to truly think about why something was wrong. If only one parent is present there’s no need for the other parent to go in just to tell them the same thing. They’re too young to understand why they’re being told twice when the candy is already gone. If both parents are present then one can say why did you take the candy and the other can say do you understand why mom/dad said that or do you know why you can’t have the candy. It’s always good to get them thinking what’s behind the no.

I agree. No reason to both gang up on them. I obviously followed his lead when they asked for dessert after dinner but i didnt feel the need to go back in there. N i already know why they went in there...theyre kids n like candy...

Your only going to confuse them my in laws say only one person parents at a time and he took control of that situation so it was his time to parent you did right thing my husband doesn’t understand that concept either
