I am new to step parenting and to blogging.  I have a major concern with my new spouse and his discipline style.  First, a little background.  we got married september 2017 and dated since 2015.  we both have the same wants from our childeren: we want them to be respectful, clean up after themselves, do what they are told. the usual stuff.  but we have different ways of getting the kids to do those things.
