We disagree about discipline
Parenting & Pregnancy / by cander15

...See more My husband and I keep having pretty major fights over disciplining our 5 year old. A little short background, we've both been married and had children with our first spouses. Children are grown now. 5 years ago, we gained custody of my niece and nephew, now 10 and 5. This is the first time we've raised children together. I feel like he's too harsh, he feels like I'm too soft. This quickly devolves into "who has better kids" arguments. My bio daughter has mental health issues, and struggles to "adult". He uses this against me when we have this fight. His kids are all doing good, but he is estranged from his own daughter. He is passive aggressive and will shut me out after we've had harsh words. He refuses any kind of therapy or mediation, and I feel utterly lonely and hurt. Would love any insight anyone may have.
