I have a serious problem (I'd rather not mention it) that needs to be dealt with with my son. He is in his twenties, living at home. We were told that he is going through a late adolescence. My husband is not firm in any way. Gives him lots of leeway and encourages him to continue with his nonsense by simply not telling him off. He is too afraid of his son. Talks to him as if he is a baby and will get angry at each and every one but his son who is the one who needs serious reprimanding. What should I do about my husband? I know exactly what to do to deal with my son but am not getting the cooperation from my husband. Please help!

If you have already spoken to your husband about this then try family counselling - maybe your husband will then start to understand that all kids need boundaries and actually feel more secure when they are enforced - adolescence is a time when kids are unsure where their life will lead and they can easily feel unsettled. Not having clear enforced boundaries at home does not help them - your husband needs to realise that he is the role model for your son and he will base his own actions on those of his father figure. For your son to be a strong, dependable man his dad needs to show him how. Good luck.

i think you need to sit your husband down and let him know that your BOTH his parents and he needs to deal with the situation as well as you.
