I want to say in advance sorry if this offends anyone. That being said.....It drives me crazy and I think it is absolutely ridiculous when mothers say "I'm going to call your dad" when their child isn't doing what they should be. I mean seriously. What good is that going to do? Dad is at work or something and really can't do anything about what ever it is they are doing wrong. All that shows the kids is Mom doesn't have a backbone and will let the kids get away with anything. You really think a kid cares that they have to get on the phone and listen to Dad say "do what your mother says" or "don't do that" ? NO. Also, do you think the Dad wants a hundred phone calls a day while he is trying to provide for his family, saying "the kids are being bad"? He has enough going on at work I am sure where he doesn't need that. Nor does he want that. Seriously moms, learn how to discipline YOUR kids while YOU are in charge of them. Maybe if you did that once in a while the kids would respect you and not act up so much while dad is at work. Think about it. If you really have a problem you would like your husbands help with, talk to him when he gets home or when the kids are in bed. Maybe you could ask him to give a family home evening lesson on obedience or respect or something. Then he is the one telling them this just like you want him to without bugging him all day.
Please note: I am not saying I am perfect and have all the answers but this is just stupid.
Also this example came from some random person at the park. So no one I know.
