My H and I fight about this because we don't seem to always be on the same page discipline wise and various things make us both of the us the mean parent. I think generally my H is. Colin comes running to me when my H has to discipline him which angers my H a lot. Colin doesn't run to my H when i discipline him so it makes my H feel bad. I also think my H is the scarier parent lol
This happens at our house too. But it also happens when she doesn't feel well or gets hurt. She will come crying looking for me rather than stay with him. I do feel bad about that for my H, but he seems to get like more mad that she gets hurt. He takes it differently. We have had long talks about his reactions. He got hurt a lot as a kid, like hitting a car on his bike, hit in the face with a baseball and all sorts of traumatic ER visit events. So he is so afraid she is going to be that kid.

Definitely me, but that's just because I stay at home. Hudson really only listens to me anyway. This also means that they both favor DH because he's always playing with them and I'm always the one getting on to them.
