Parenting styles - ughhhhh

Elbow's picture

My wife and I got into an argument this morning, which really boils down to differences in parenting styles.

We are a lesbian couple, together 6 years, married 2. She has 3 children from a previous marriage. 2 are over 18 (her 27 yo still lives with us). 

But this argument occurred because her 17 yo autistic daughter was acting like an infant when she was woken up for school. 

For some reason this child believes that she can get away with anything with her mom (guess she does). 

She also absolutely knows that I love her, but I don't play.
