I adore my husband and we have no outstanding issues in our marriage. However when it comes to our son he tends to be more aggressive and it doesn't anger me I just always feel the need to correct my husband and tell him the proper way to discipline our son. I mean does it matter if the punishment is the same as long as our son understands its a punishment? Also my husband has never been a messy eater and my son is the exact opposite so there is some tension there as far as a young boy is just going to get messy when he eats and the phobia it seems my husband has bothers me. He is going to throw food on the floor he will spit it out if he doesn't like it or it's too hot or cold. I assume we as parent yes need to do some parenting but not to be angry at him either. Should I say something to my husband or just let the boys or men be men or boys?

Thanks a ton sharing this discussion. Well i can understand your situation and i think u should calm down yourself and discuss the matter with your husband first and ask him what should be your and your husband's next step to tackle your kid. I think giving excessive freedom to kids makes them more independent and sometimes they misuse their freedom. So u should be strict with him and make him aware of his responsibilities of being a son of his family.
What say?

I think parents being the opposite gives great balance for the children. My husband is much tougher than I am but I think its a good thing.
I would rather that than both parents being too easy or too hard on them. Being too easy means horrible kids and being too tough makes scared children. Neither of which are good in my opinion.
So, one parent being tougher than the other is good to me. And if you think he went WAY overboard with something talk to him about it away from your son. But really balance is a key to parenting I think. =)

You must talk with your husband.
Little kids tend to have nervous than respect when treated badly.
Punishment must be given in proper way and not give a scare or else it will affect the kid psychologically.
Training and discipline must be done slowly and with proper care and full of love.
It's your son anyway and not a soldier under training.
