Who does most of disciplining in your family?

Who disciplines the child(ren) the most in your family? You or your spouse/partner?

We have a blended family. He disciplines his children, mostly; I do mine, mostly. This developed primarily because the children respond best to their own parent. We each can and do deal with the other's children as required, and the children are respectful when it happens, but it's proven best over the years if the bio-parent does the majority of the negative stuff. We each are perfectly free to do the fun stuff with whichever kids are at hand!

Daddy does. I don't know why but the youngest is deaf when it comes to me. When Daddy is around she is an angel. Go figure.

Me, but my husband is getting there. But he is a true softie with his little girl

We both do for the most part. I think I discipline more often since the kids are around me more lately.

Of course, when we witness the other one disciplining, it always seem like they are over-reacting and we of course never do!

Definitely me, my husband hates when the girls are mad at him so he'd rather let me do the dirty work.

Oh, i can already tell that it's going to be me! My husband can't deal with crying and our little one already has his number!

Oy! Me, and I hate it. I'm pushing for more balance, though.
