If your more than willing to step back and let her have a say in parenting then do that NOW!

I am just trying to help you here, please don't get defensive. Because if you do with me I know it will come off that way around your wife. Even if you "hold your tongue" that attitude and way of thinking come across non verbally.

Your children will not suffer long term damage, therefore use this as a learning opportunity/growing experience for YOU.

This is hard for me too, I understand! I really do. One day my H was supposed to bring the kids back at 2:30pm. I wanted to take them to the movies. They usually napped from 11-2ish. He wanted to enjoy more time with them so didn't put them down for their nap. I was livid when he brought them at 2:30 with no nap. I knew they would fall asleep in the car, and the movie would be out of the question and I would have two cranky toddlers on my hands........
I snapped at him about this and was a total bi!ch. Yes, we missed the movie. Yes, I had two crabby kids for the rest of the day. They went to bed early and I calmed down. I realized that they enjoyed the time with their dad just as much as they would have enjoyed the movie.

I am still working on letting go of what I think is the "best" for them. And my H has said he sees a huge change. He compliments me on my parenting all the time.


Again think about this...
"You can either be right or be happy"

Which one do you choose?
