My husband and I have been married for 1 year. He has 2, I have 2. His come every other weekend. When they come, he is completely different to mine. We try very hard to make our family "ours" not mine and yours, but I don't think he has as much patience with my kids. We have been together almost 3 years and are still really in the process of getting everyone used to our new life. My kids father is awesome! We all have a really good relationship since we divorced after 7 years of marriage, but he does not discipline the kids. I make sure I make the rules and my husband backs me up, but we are still having problems just in this area. Yesterday, I made a "praise" jar, "job" jar, and "sorry" jar. I hope this helps with the bickering and disrespect from the kids. Now what to do about the way my husband reacts to the kids.....He feels if they change, he will change. I feel he has to earn their trust and respect and that takes time. HELP!!!
