Plus, I helped raise my two youngest cousins and I was definitely strict on them. They were more afraid of me than their mom! Not necessarily afraid, but they listened to me better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294916 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 08:48:00 +0000 ladyfingers 294916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me. I know this from hypothetical situations we've set up. Like others have said, DH can't even discipline our dog. It's pathetic lol ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294792 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:46:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 294792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'll be bad cop. He can't even discipline the dog! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294786 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:44:34 +0000 littlebug 294786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a feeling it'll be me. As it is, Hubs already says he can't stay mad at the freakin cat when she misbehaves because she just looks at him with this pathetic look on her face and he caves. Ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294765 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:36:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 294765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me. DH's gonna be a pushover, he even knows it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294710 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 07:01:27 +0000 Cole 294710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until we got a dog I thought he would be stricter but now I am certain it will be me. He lets stuff slide because it is cute or he doesn't want to interrupt playtime... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294647 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 04:53:10 +0000 Honeybee 294647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are both strict about different things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294645 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 04:48:38 +0000 Sweet T 294645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the stricter parent for sure. DH tends to laugh or just not think something's a big deal when he should. Blahhhh...men! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294243 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:57:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 294243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably DH, especially since LO is a boy. I'm such a pushover...must work on that...if LO had ended up being a girl I'd almost definitely end up being the strict one though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294236 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:54:42 +0000 heffalump 294236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're pretty equal. Before she was born I would have said him, but I'm the one home with her all day so I have to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294204 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:46:32 +0000 Andrea 294204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: hehe. sounds like my DH, except for the muscle part. LOL LOL!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294203 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:46:29 +0000 PrincessBaby 294203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG I'm going to have a really hard time being tough. My heart is too soft. DH made me discipline the dog when he marked a spot in the baby's nursery...I rubbed his nose in it and spanked him once. He cowered under the crib for like 2 hours and wouldn't come out, and I cried and then promised I would never spank him again. DH was not impressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294195 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:44:37 +0000 MamaMoose 294195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: he totally is. And what makes it even funnier is that he's 6'6" and 250lbs of muscle but on the inside he's a big mush mellow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294181 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:41:16 +0000 Andrea 294181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: haha, softie!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294175 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:40:31 +0000 MamaMoose 294175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. My husband informed me the other day "FYI if the baby is a girl you are going to have to handle 100% of the discipline". Awesome... Thanks hun : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294167 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:39:14 +0000 prettylizy 294167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to be the bad cop for sure. DH is the fun one... :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294160 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:37:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 294160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me for sure.</p> <p>DH laughs when kids are naughty (*sighs*) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294068 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:14:50 +0000 birdofafeather 294068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't know! i go back and forth, but i think i will be more strict just because of my personality type and DH's. i am way more type a and he's more laid back for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294067 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:14:50 +0000 mrsjyw 294067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dh says i'll be the strict one with "daughter(s)" and he'll be the strict one with "son" :)</p> <p>i have a feeling i'll be the more strict one overall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294056 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:12:44 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 294056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have different areas of expertise. I can already see it in the way we both handle our friends/family:</p> <p>DH is strict with school, reading, grades, religion studies, responsibility like getting a job or doing chores.</p> <p>I am more lax on those things and super strict on: manners, dressing presentably, being well behaved, being nice to other kids and adults, sharing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294033 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:03:37 +0000 Bookish 294033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it will be a toss-up. I've seen my DH get SERIOUS with his nieces and nephews, but I'm less likely to put up with any crap...I think we will balance each other nicely! (We'll see when we actually have a LO though!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294026 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:02:27 +0000 chopsuey 294026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably me. Dh and I both suck in the strict dept though. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294012 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:59:16 +0000 autumnlove 294012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! DH says he can't say no to her all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294009 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:57:48 +0000 mamabird 294009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be probably because her daddy is a sweetheart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-iswill-be-the-stricter-parent#post-294000 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:52:05 +0000 Andrea 294000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am definitely more strict! </p>
