Hands up who's an inconsistant parent! Me!

[Lilliput]

I start off with good intensions and then it all goes to pot. The sticker chart doesn't get filled in and I eventually give in to the whinging. Please tell me I am not the only one.

me too

so inconsistant

my kids get away with murder cos i cant be bothered to maintain the original plan

me three

[hand up]

i just have no control whatsoever

whats a sticker chart? i do whatever keeps them quiet on the day

im very concerned about the amount of 'confession' threads at the mo, i seem to be on all of them

confession is good for the soul!

Aye

I'm crap. I used to be better, when ds1's behavior was worse, but now ds1 is getting better, ds2 is bloody hard work, I haven't the heart to crack down. he's getting better anyway.

me-at the end of the day or when on the phone i give in and they know it!

my intensions are always good but somehow almost inevitably it goes to po and I can't even remember what we were going to do in the first place.

Yikes!

Guilty as charged m'lod, as a child, my father was very authauritarian, my mum was the other extreme, so I like to think, I'm neither of them but that's wishful thinking on my part. I do my best but often when I hear myself, I stop and go, "Oh God, that's my dad" When my ds 6 is jumping around like a loon and I'm sitting there letting it sail over my head, it's like, "Oh that's my mum" Some days I get it right, some days I get it wrong but overall I'm ok and ok is well just that.
