I know how to deal with brat kids: if they throw temper tantrums, don't give in. Show them and tell them you love them, hang with them, play with them, stand against their tricks. Show them you're serious: seriously cut all benefits if they act a fool; seriously desire to give them your all. This is what my parents did. And they even spanked me! But I never felt resentful or hateful toward them; because they made it clear that they loved me.
My wife throws temper tantrums, cries, whines, shouts, gets physical, etcetera, a lot like a brat kid, when she doesn't get her way with me. We are newly married (9 months now) and she has gotten away with it up until recently. Like her family, I used to concede. I have now told her that I won't put up with it any more. Now she claims that I hate her; to hate me; that I'm mean and heartless; that I should change, not her; that I should apologize for being mean; etc. Kids see adults' stance as mean. She's not a kid: she can divorce me. Any advice?
