Does anyone have a spouse where their parenting skills (or lack thereof) are opposite?
My husbands parenting skills well.. to be frank suck He's a great playmate, spends a lot of time with his son playing basketball, football, baseball, taking him to the movies, games, or to the play at amusement parks. But, his parental judgment sucks Like... for example taking my son who is 9 to see a rated R movie Super Bad with extreme sexual content. Or, letting him spend the night at his friends house where he knows the parents smoke weed in their special room, or going to the store really quick and leaving him at home alone again my son is only 9 , yelling at him when he s doing homework, or keeping secrets with my son and saying " this is between us my son always tells me the secrete anyway . Or telling him things like men are smarter then women Things, like that worry me. I am a responsible parent and he is irresponsible. He just lost his job recently and they are spending a lot of time together and it just kind of worries me. I ve had several talks with him on this and he says stop nagging it s not that big of a deal. But, to me it is and I m afraid he is exposing my son to things that he shouldn t be exposed to at this age. Any advice, or thoughts? I ve even thought about leaving him, but where does that leave my son, alone with him again so I can t do that. I know that sounds extreme, but there are other issues too, but my son is my main concern.I do voice my oppion and concern, and go off on him, but when I'm at work and the deed is already done, and I find out after the fact, it doesn't help.
When is it right to tell your mother she has bad parenting skills?
My brother yelled at my mom recently saying that her parenting was bad and I thought this was really out of line. He then yelled at me telling me to grow up I'm 20 when I found it kind of ironic that he's almost 30 and still living at home w our mother.
The 13 yr old father.... now seriuosly have parenting skills disappeared?
was sat at 6th form today reading the sun ... it was the most shocking thing ive heard in a long timehow can any 12 yr old even know what to do to a 14 yr old.. this whole situation is suspicious however what was most annoying about all of this was what their parents had to saythe boy's father who has 9 kids was planning to speak to hi son about the birds and the bees....now that its too late what is the pointthe fact that the families didn't take any initiative to prevent this happening is very very worrying.... now i ask how can we see a brighter and better future for this country if the children are now having babies... who will teach who what? i dnt know if anybody else will agree but parenting skills have gone down the draini want to make it clear that im not bad mouthing all parents out therei have seen so many wonderfuly supportive and dedicated parents out there in my short span of life and admire what they have done and are still doing. But when you find a 12 yr old, fathering a child with a 14 yr old and both families of these teens are happy with it, the question simply has to be asked what is being tought about sex and the consequences that may or may not arise from it, to them or to teens and children across our nation.i just find the whole sitaution bizzar and odely suspisciousand what my spelling, gramma and pancuation have to do with this i don't know and really couldnt give a flying f all i want is an opinion relevent to the question
There is more than just poor parenting skills.?
I only scratched the surface of my previous question, there are more instances of poor parenting skills being exhibited by my wife. Firstly, I" m 49 years old, my wife is 17 and a 2nd cousin..LONG story , anyways not only does my wife get up in the middle of the night when the little thing cries, she talks to it like it's a person. Like...oooh, who loves the little girl, who is the cutest..that sort of thing. Now when the baby hears that, don't you think it's going to get a swelled head ? I think of the future, when it's in high school, like she'll remember my wife saying, ooooh you're so cute and stuff and she'll have no friends cause they'll think she's concieted. My wife is heavy and if my baby has those genes she'll prolly end up fat like her mom, so I think we better prepare her for a life of misery, not give her false hope of being cute and stuff. I think we should snip it in the bud now, tell her she's got the " fat genes " and if we can stop the over feeding now, w're thebest
How do I get my childs father to stop correcting my parenting skills??

Bad parenting skills, or something serious?
I am seriously worried about my BFF. Her parents always go out to dinner together she always eats alone. I know talking to my parents at dinner every night helps me. She is infact at an average weight, almost boarder line underweight, yet her family is constantly telling her how fat she is and she is starting to not eat all the lunch she brings or participate in swapping food with us we eat food out of each other's lunches sometimes.. its fun . Her parents don't appreciate her acheivements. She won 3 awards at the award ceremony and her parents didn't come and I felt bad bc I didn't win an award but my parents were there anyways. Once her mom and dad started yelling at her because they couldn't find her grandmother's prized vase and they were saying she broke it and she was insisting she didn't. they took all of her money to " make up for it" and she was grounded but they found it a week later where her mom put it for decoration. Is this just bad parenting or something else?It's many things like this and her parents are constantly fighting with each other about her and I don't want her to be hurting. The past week she seemed to be unfocused and sad. I personally think they are selfish since they refuse to take her to soccer practice and won't let me drive her since they won't drive me and want to be fair. THen at the games they get mad bc she doesn't play and get mad at her when she says that the coach said it's because she didn't come to practice.is this at all bad parenting and I am concerned for no reason? I want to help her
How can u force good parenting skills among my sons father. he doesnt want to be bothered because of childsupp?
Support. I am 25 yrs old and we have a 2 yr old together. I am ready to move on from the past and coparent our son together. However he is immature and says he doesn't want to pay child support. So he has not been in my son life and has not saw him in 3 mos. This pisses me the f off. I am sick of the games I have moved on with my life and am working toward a better future and I am sick of him taking his anger of child support out on our son. I don't even understand why he is so upset my son hasn't gotten a dime yet. We just had our hearing in december. Why does he have to be this way? Why can't we just be amicable for our son?
Why is my new man criticising my parenting skills?
I thought things were going great. But recently he has been saying little things that I feel are criticisms of my parenting skills. He jokingly said I was a bad mum because my little girl refused to go to bed at bedtime one night so I let her stay up for a bit, he said sorry straight away and realised that was mean. I told him Straight I wouldn't take anyone telling me what to do with my daughter and he accepted that.But then a few days later he was doing it again, like pointing out I should have put her a thicker coat on when we were out, and he thought I would have noticed she needed the toilet before she had a little accident. Its making me feel really down, as I haven't much confidence in myself as it is. Its the first relationship I have been in in years, so I am not used to being bossed around. I am not sure if I am over reacting and what I should do about this? Other than this, he is really nice and great with my child. Any ideas?x
After our baby was born, I notice my wife has poor parenting skills.?
Our baby is now 4.5 months old, my wife is exhibiting poor parenting skills, she is spoiling our little girl and over feeding her. I notice in the middle of the night when the baby is crying, my wife jumps out of bed and feeds it, not to mention waking me up. She rocks the baby and coddles it like a little puppy, I'm afraid my daughter is going to grow up spoiled and expecting people to jump when she demands it. I've spoken to my wife and explained to her that when we put the baby to bed, that's it, lock the door and and explain to our daughter that she has to think of other people, and her crying in the middle of the night is disturbing and uncalled for. My wife doesn't see it that way , she thinks that little babies need to cry to make sure we're around. Well what happens when she joins girl scouts, we're not going to be there , she's going to have to depend on herself, I think this is a valuable life lesson. Where can my " poor parenting skilled wife " learn these skills ?
Have any other dads or moms going thru a separation experienced a change in parenting skills?
I am recently separated from my wife with a 2 yo and a 3 yo. I once considered myself to be the best dad in the universe but since the separation my superpowers have dwindled and I am lacking confidence as a father.Before the separation I took on most of the duties so this isn't new to me. I had the Mr. Mom rep. At least when we were together I knew relief was on the way when things were overwhelming and I had a partner to help re enforce rules.But now my patience and frustrations are worn very thin and everday routines are met with tantrums and the like.What routines used to be easy are now impossible to enforce as a single parent. I know the kids are going thru a lot with this and understand their behavior rebellion. But this question is more about myself and my behavior.I am a better father just knowing someone else is around for morale support even if they aren't helping at all.Is this wrong? How do I change my mindset? I want to be the dad I used to be.
