One (relatively small) fight...

[azurelunatic]

...and all my work this afternoon goes boom.

Marx and I are having severe parenting-style clash.

Neither of us is good at dealing with this.

An observation based on what's happening in my household right now?


Pecking order.

You are used to being second parent to LF, marxdarx is becoming third parent but might possibly usurp you as second as he and votania's relationship progresses?

That, in addition to parenting style clash. Mebbe.

[azurelunatic]

He already has.

They are of equal authority.

That is quite a bit of what is going on. And since he is now 2ic, my place is becoming far less of the active-help when he's around, because our styles clash that badly; the only way I have seen to resolve it is to just step back when he's there and therefore In Charge.

we all need to sit down and TOTALLY get things down on how my little angel should be raised.
I agree with how you raise my son.
I agree with how Marxdarx raises my son.
You BOTH have the authority.
You BOTH cannot stand eachother.

one clash is that you BOTH have opposite teaching styles...
the other clash (in my opinion the heart of the issue) is that you two are just two different (big time personality conflict) and are faced with a rather bad living situation being that we all have to depend upon eachother to survive and get through school, etc.... if someone chooses to bail then the others suffer horribly, and posssibly even have no home, etc. the amount of stress is great on all of us.

I'm at a loss what to do about the issue which tells me we all should have a meeting of the minds because right now, nothing is improving.

No matter what: we have to communicate...all of us.

Love,

L.

I'm glad it's working better now.

Which One?

Groucho has sever passive-agressive tendencies that manifest through lame jokes and offball behavior.
Chico likes to lurk in the background and wait until thoroughly angry before saying anything.
Harpo plays dumb, but is the smartest of the lot,
Zeppo likes to be in control of every little detail,
and of course Karl thinks the child is destined to overthrow the parent, then share all the spoils of the coup with his siblings.

Groucho, Chico, and Zeppo, from the looks of it.
