In my family, mom was the disciplinarian, so we never had to wait for dad to come home to get our bottoms spanked... But I know that it was different in many other families. Often the father was the disciplinarian, partly because that was his traditional role, partly because mom was regarded as "too soft", or because there was a conscious or subconscious good cop / bad cop role play going on. I think that the fact that the father is the sole disciplinarian and that children have to wait (sometimes for a whole day) to get punished by him is not good for child development. Punishment should be swift, and it should relate to the child, not to the role of a particular parent. And the father should not be the parent to be feared. So, mom should say "You have been naughty, now come with me, and I'll give you what you deserve." And if dad happens to be around, same for him.

No, but now I use it all the time on the rugrats. Not weird at all to want to get home, only tells us you are on the right road to being a good Daddy! Don't mind Heather, she's just mad her daddy named her after a type of Crabgrass.

No, because he was always late (2 - 3 am). He used to find everybody sleeping. My mom had a hard time spending all those hours with us (4 siblings) by herself.
My husband, can't wait to get home and I use that sentence many times a day.

Yes,when I was a kid if I got into trouble....my mom would say.....You just wait until your Father gets home......that's all it took for me to get my act together! You should always be ready to go home to your family. That's not weird at all!

Yeah. My mom had a very abusive child hood so she couldn't handle disciplining us. She got too sad and upset to really do anything but tell Dad on us. Now as the parent I feel badly for my dad because he always had to be the "mean" one. Of course I was a perfect li'l angel so that didn't apply to me!!!! lol

My Mother said that in order to project fear into my heart that my father would side with her and they would both yield out punishment to fit the crime. Never happened...I was Daddy's little girl ... the only thing he ever said when my mother complained to him about things I did was to say in private" Don't be so hard on your Mother, ok?"

Yes, my Mom always said that when she was unable to handle us kids.
Now that you are a father, you can't wait to get home because you have a happy, sexy, wife that you are lusting to get into, that's WHY!
See it from different perspectives!

My mom said that to me. I think that was wrong because my dad was like you wanting to get home to see his family...but my mom made us scared of him in that threatening tone so I think in a way she created a divide in a relationship that could have been so much closer.
