I love my boyfriend and his kids but latly I have been working now and so is he. I work in the morning and my bf watches the kids untill i get home. But as soon as he heads out the door, the kids change. They dont listen to me, they fight all the time. I have tried the "corner", time outs, naps, and even chores. I am running out of punishments and yet as soon as their dad gets back, they are angels. I dont know what to do anymore. My bf and I have talked and talked and talked but I am at the end of my rope. What should I do?

My skids are the same way. They are far from angels when Dh is around, hut they are down right awful when he's not there. It's frustrating cause Dh never sees it so he doesn't get why I get so stressed and frustrated.

Im sorry I dont understand wht the ss5 and DH stands for.

But my boyfriend fully backs me up. The other night, his son desided to get up and play his DS game when he was supposed to be sleeping. When I brought this up with his dad, he lied and said he didnt. I sat there and listen to their conversation and when it was time for me to talk, he fully supported everything I had to say. For his punishment, we did chores and no games or TV until he was done. By the end of the day, he was better behaved with me and didnt give me any problems with bed, it could have done something to do with all the chores.
