I’m not suggesting you be sterner with them but by no means should they walk over you. When you speak, they should listen and if they do not then it is time for the BD to speak. This will let the kids know through your actions that you and BD are on the same page. With someone else’s kid, it isn’t that you expect less from them but that you have the RIGHT and are bounded to raise your kids to the best of your ability.
One more piece of advice that might save you heartache later…..don’t worry about what the kids say to BM. You can not control that. As long as your husband knows that you are doing the right thing, don’t worry about the rest. When kids are in volatile situations, they learn to tell a parent what they want to hear to please them. No win situation there.
