Do you think it is okay for two parents to use different parenting methods? (Mom more gentle dad more authoritative.)
Having trouble with determining if it should always be a united approach removing any confusion or if since each parent plays a different role, if different strategies are okay and actually beneficial.
Unfortunatley well in my case my daughters father who I'm not with refuses point blank to do anything the same. He tends to go against everything to cause problems, also if i say no he will say to her " aww we cant mummy says no. But he also demands contact weekly and to sleep over as he has no where suitable she can stay. I try to be firm but fair and consistent he back tracks everything he says, I'm actually sick of it
Yes. We do.
You need to have consistent house rules.
Gentle and authoritative are kinda the same.
Do you mean he is traditional? Spankings, children should be seen and not heard?
