She can NEVER do that, NEVER. You are every bit as much as parent to them than she.

And I will go staight out and say, when you were together, your parenting techniques differed, right? Well, it certantly won't be any different now.

It may take your sons a while to get used to, but they will know where they are and who is in charge when they are.

My boys are night and day from when they are with Xw and when they are with me. Night and day.

They completely walk all over XW. As I've said it gets hard not to intervine with their talking back, swearing, and poor attitude with XW, very hard. But when they are with me, I get none of the above, and on the rare occasion one does act up, it doesn't last very long.

Heh, every so often XW gets so erked, "you're total angels for your father, but treat me like......" Well hon, that's the enviornment you provide.

I think you need to take a breather from kid issues, sounds like it's bringing you down.
