I find it disturbing that any man would exclude himself from disciplining his children. Handing the responsibility solely to the woman, in a two parent household, is a recipe for disaster. Nicola Mclean's boys may well acquiesce with her parenting approach in the short term. But as they grow into adults, the lack of the disciplinarian input of a father, will almost certainly manifest in their behaviour.
Unless there is a dire situation about to occur, I don't think it's appropriate to scold or try to discipline another person's child. If that child is trying to hurt MY child, or that kid is about to hurt themselves, I would step in. Otherwise, no
If the child is acting unruly and the parent isn't disciplining their child, then sure I understand why a stranger would scold that child. But I remember being at a bookstore as a kid reading, I wasn't being naughty, loud or disturbing other people, and some random middle aged guy scolded me saying 'if you ruin that book you're innbig trouble'. So if a stranger scolds your child for n I reason or was unessecarily harsh, than they don't have a right to interfere. But to the point you don't let your husband also parent the kids is ridiculous.
Its absolutely fine - if you create a monster, others have the responsibility to check that if you are unable to. And they are not YOUR children. They are the children of the mum and the dad. Mums dont have greater rights. Plus CHILDREN lie. They test moral boundaries.
I volunteer for a charity and there is a teenager girl who hits the male volunteers not hard but she still hits them and i have told her off for that time.
She is being ridiculous of course a man should be able to tell his kids off what sort of parenting is that if a child is out of order and mother letting them away with that of course thay should b told off kid needs b told if theyre out of order shes excluding him from being parent to his own kids pathetic😊
Not really. Nobody steps in to tell off children in front of a parent so long as the parent is seen to be making a real attempt to tell the child their behaviour is not acceptable and take steps to prevent that behaviour continuing. Teachers are expected to maintain order in our classrooms and we do it by using a consistent and fair approach. We cannot make exceptions for "Mummy's little darling".
Anyone who deliberately prevents a parent from having equal responsibility for all aspects of parenting, including discipline, is disenfranchising that parent. Making them a less important parent in their children's eyes. That is coercive behaviour and damaging to the relationship they have with their children. Manipulative bullying of one parent by another and diminishing them in front of their own children. Appalling behaviour. That would be grounds for divorce and a custody battle!

If a child is running around the restaurant, I'm telling the kid off. If the parent approaches me, then we'll deal with it outside

Unfortunately
Totally agree
Completely agree
If Nicola McLeans sons are anything like her, gobby, then yes, they’d need a good telling off by any adult who happens to be around them!
I feel sorry for her husband.
Feel

Both sides have a point.

I’m with Nicola. I was totally expecting her on the right to be a big mouth.
