Coming up on One-Year of DB'ing...

[S.T. _I Made It!]

All is good. H just punishes about once per year, and, well, you know... goes overboard, and then back pedals, when he realizes what a dork he's been.

my thoughts on this....he goes overboard because he doesn't discipline them. start giving him the reigns on this one. so if the kids do something wrong..do what he does...bring them to him and say, will you please figure out a punishment for them. and then let him figure it out.

I agree that him changing the punishment might not be the best thing, but it is good that they have the punishment to begin with, and sometimes it's okay to take part away when they show they are remorseful and being good. I mean, even our system let's criminals get out or on parole for good behavior, or whatever it's called. But, there are probably aspects of your disciplining that he doesn't think is the right way too. but that's normal, no one is perfect, and there isn't really a perfect way to discipline either.

H's reaction to collage...
Is your H the type to not show emotions much (correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm wondering, perhaps it drew up emotions that weren't easy for him to share, and maybe his sister's emotions allowed him to open up? I wouldn't be upset by that. My H and his dad don't have an R. his dad has schizophrenia so he sees/talks to him once every 3 years, but I know it's something that's hard for him. He acts like he doesn't care, but I know that's not true. He didn't even cry at his gmas funeral..the lady that took care of him as a child, and he lived with her for 3-4 years before we met. Some men just have a hard time opening up.
