How do you be the disciplining dad when mom is critical of you?

You and your wife really need to set down and talk about the childrens punishments when they disobey. She should not undermind you when you punish the children unless she feels you are putting them in danger or abuseing them. If you make them mind and she always gets upset then they will soon learn if they don't like what you have to say they will run to her. When my son use to back talk in the time out chair he had time added also. If we don't teach our children to respect us they sure arn't going to be respectful to others. Your wife better really think about that unless see wants unruley children. Good Luck.
