Poor Mums Happy Dads.

Poor Mums Happy Dads.

The anti-smacking bill when it becomes law, will be great for Dads who in the past have been used by Mums to be the last bastions of discipline in the home at the end of the day.ie: "Wait tell Dad comes home".I like most Dads hate coming home after a long days work and then have to discipline their children, for something the mother had deemed necessary for a child's disobedient or bad behavior during the day.It didn't happen very often .as it was a last resort tool used by the mother to discipline the children , if the children continued with their disobedient or bad behavior. The threat of the words "Wait tell Dad comes home" was usually enough to sort out the child's behavior. Our children knew what that meant, Dad would indeed support and backup their Mum, and carry out the discipline.I like most Dads never did like that disciplinarian responsibility as parent and father it hurts us emotionally, and I do hope Mums understands that mine and all Dads responsibilities in this area have now been lifted by the government. Mums will now have to sort things out themselves.Don't "Wait tell Dad comes home". Dads will not be able to add anymore to what Mums are already doing to discipline their children. Dads can now support Mums with their need for timeout and therapist's in the future.
