That was really good -- if you ever watched "Nanny 911" or any of the other out of control kids shows, the 100% repeatable formula for out of control kids was to have a mother who never enforces any discipline and constantly overrides the father. Often she'll scream and yell but never enforces consequences. The fathers were generally checked out and just watched TV and did their own thing ignoring the chaos with the kids and thinking it was the wife's job, or they just got tired of being overridden.

Thing is, I don't believe Ad is in this cycle, because I don't think her kids are out of control, and I DO think she enforces discipline. Sorry if my last post came across as strong but damn, he is their father, they can't pick another one. Its his responsibility to raise them to the best of his ability and to love and support them no matter what. Giving up on preteen kids and condemning them as unworthy just doesn't compute with me and from my perspective there is NO excuse for that. Don't allow yourself to be overridden, be responsible.
