thanks for you input guys I really appreciate them.

It's always been like this. I have been the disciplinarian in the house. The speak to me a lot better than they do my husband, but every now and again disrespect me too.

I have done my best and they are good, intelligent kids, but right now I leave the discipline to Tony as I'm not particularly up to it and things are going pear shaped.

I'm too tired to think about it anymore, he's been alright since, but this happens on a regular basis. I always meant what I said, Tony always offered empty threats.
well, thanks again,

tired, Jin xxxx
