Alexa, play "I'm Doing Fine" by Day One

Today, I returned home early from a week away for work. I was worried about my husband's mental health after a week alone with our two ADD kids. He wasn’t expecting me, but I was surprised to see the house cleaner than it had ever been, and our children happily reading on the couch. How did he do that? FML

Probably just a diffrent parenting style. I'm often impressed by simple clever methods of getting children to behave in parenting resources.

How much does his work pay? It might be cheaper for him to be a SAHF?

This is the winner. Moms tend to be much gentler with their children (in my observations) and let them get away with so. Much. Shit. Probably more empathy from carrying the ******* around for 9 months. As an aunt, it’s easier for me to set boundaries and ignore if they start having a tantrum. Voila, no tantrums anymore with me because they see it doesn’t work, and they listen when I tell them to do stuff. Their mom lets them get away with everything, so they constantly push the line. I feel like I’m great with kids, but I’m terrified of becoming an actual parent because I’ll probably go into “mom mode” lol. Anyway OP, take a firmer hand, discipline, and be consistent. Don’t reward crying, and definitely don’t just give them what they want when they cry about it. Observe dad and adopt his methods. Cheers!
