Parenting Styles ... How Can it Be Adverse?
DH and I are pretty strict as parents. Bedtimes, daily routine, USE MANNERS ALWAYS, that kind of stuff.
The boys both have very strong personalities and when they go to their mother's house they do not have structure or guidance. It's understandable as they want the kids to have a positive experience as the kids are not with them for the year. I get this ... it's annoying and we deal with it when they get back.
Also, both boys have Reactive Attachment Disorder - the youngest being the more severe. Part of therapy/healing for this is to have a set plan, stability, structure.
Okay. BM sent a text, out of the blue that "the boys probably can't wait to come up here for the summer so they can get away from your dictatorship." He didn't respond but I just gave him that "what-the-heck-was-that-about look.
I don't really care what she thinks of our parenting because I know they need this. But I have to wonder ... will this hurt us in court?

I doubt it. Judges have
I doubt it. Judges have seen all kinds of parenting styles. As long as you aren't abusing the kids, the judge isn't going to side with one style over the other.

I am glad he ignored it. she
I am glad he ignored it. she was just fishing for a fight. It can't hurt you in court becuz SHE doesn't like the way you parent.
