I recently had back surgery and am unable to do much. My boyfriend is the one that takes care of almost everything, from cleaning the house to punishing my girls by wanting to make them cry. Before doing some research myself, I wasn't very nice either (yelling, spanking, and threatening to harm them physically). It is almost as if I were competing with my boyfriend as to who should be the more dominant parent. I just want my kids to respect me and my rules and not grow to hate my boyfriend ,out of fear of his deep voice yelling in there face. NOTE: He has never touched them in a harmful manner. I just feel like I'm loosing it, their respect that is, because of letting him take over especially since we've only been together 8 months. Although he is tired of hearing me yell at them, which I'm now working on that on my behalf, but what do I do about my boyfriend not feeling respected because I question his methods? He says that I am underminding his decision, I don't feel he's right!HELP
