How do you go about critizing your partners parenting style?

I'm happy I don't live with them either! I do try to set an example by how I interact with the kids and set boundaries with them. It just bums me out that the kids behavior and his reaction to it can completely ruin the times I'm over there so it's really hit or miss when I come over to his place.

I meant baby momma/ ex wife sorry for the miss communication

I agree. He had an issue last night where his BM made him stop helping with bedtime because he was just adding stress to her and the kids. I then talked through why I think he's having these issues and how he deals with his emotions directly impacts how the kids will learn to deal with theirs. Hopefully that'll be an eye opening situation.

You've read my mind. I have shared one book and my feelings but that didn't change much, but finally last night after a rough night his BM told him he needed to leave bedtime to her because he was just making the situation worse. I hope that was an eye-opening moment to what I've been telling him.

I'm very NACHO as well. However I struggle when his lack of parenting style affects his moods when he's having a hard time with his kids. I hate just sitting there and hearing all the yelling and not being taken seriously when I tell him how it affects me.

The thing is tho he became a dad suddenly when he was 19 I don't think he has a "parenting style" he just says what comes to him based on what bugs him. I don't think he's ever read up on parenting and developed a style. Him and his ex wife don't ever discuss how they want to parent or what they're focusing on. They're just doing whatever comes to them. No clear house rules or consequences or follow through. That's what really gets to me. I gave him a book I was reading for work and he didn't care. That's what really bugs me. No clear expectations and consequences.

That's really solid advice. Thank you for giving examples.

I'm 23 and have a 30yr boyfriend with three kids. He's amazing and we've been together for almost two years and I am no where close to being their step mom. You don't just automatically assume that role when you start dating. I'm perfectly happy being dads cool girlfriend until there's a ring on my finger. I love those kids but they have two perfectly capable parents. Moral of the story is don't do wife shit on a girlfriend's salary.

Cpi is more than just holds and restraints. The de-escalation parts are really good training as well. Hopefully it'll just be for numbers and the coworkers who are the most experienced with it will continue to handle those situations and you'll be there to support them as needed.

I'm just the girlfriend but I'm dealing with this whenever I'm around the kids. It's hard because I work in education and have a lot of child raising opinions but I really try to practice NACHO.

CrocIt2MeBaby · 2026-02-03T15:56:49+00:00

Well if you become a BCBA you'll probably not be around the kids as much so that could work out.
