Should you discipline your step children and your children in the same way?

You might not have any children, joe, but I think you are right on target. Why would you even consider treating them any different? The kids would be able to see that in an instant and use it for their advantage. It would only cause resentment. That's my opinion and I seem to be very opinionated tonight. lol

interesting reading everyones answers

-- and I agree with you to a point BUT --always a but lol

I think when someone that gets the kids every fortnight and holidays. I dont think the child needs 2 mums or 2 dads --

Yes the rules are inforced for the kids but i dont think the other parent should be scolding the stepchildren

just my opinion

one thing my ex boyfriend and I disagreed on -- he expected me to punish his kids and I told him what I thought -- that was HIS job

Dont worry -- I put her in line if I didnt like something -- but was done differently as I am not the parent

Well thats how I look at it -- even tho we split more than 3 years ago and we have bothed moved on -- (we are still friends - talk to him once a blue moon) -- our daughters still talk and Samantha and I are close (his daughter)

That was my delete. Sorry. Can't sleep and probably over thinking everything. Everyone is different in how they deal with the children in their lives.

Thanks Tushy. My delete just said something like.....disciplining a child is like making an investment in what you want them to be when they grow up. And....something else that I can't remember now cause I actually did finally get to sleep. lol

I do discipline my kids -- I just dont think its right that some one else takes the reigns - only the parents -- and if the parenting is dun right -- you shouldnt really have to lay that much discipline down!!!! Kids should already have respect for adults

like i said -- its my opinion

and to big cheese -- thats exactly right -- and I do discipline -- its dun differently when its my kids or someone elses kids..

I see it as respect to the parent

I wuoldnt like someone else yelling at my kids -- I have had that happen once and once too often -- as my kids are placid and brought up the old fashioned way

my ex husbands ex girlfriend tried to discipline my son and I dont think thats right -- she decided coz she came in the house she was gonna change all the rules -- she was ok to my daughter but gave my son hell -- hence she isnt there anymore and we found out later she has a real problem with 'boys'

I didn't have any children of my own, but did suddenly 'acquire' a stepson when he was three years old.

I have always been the disciplinarian type with my own flesh and blood (nephews/nieces).

So, I am sure I would have treated my very own children in the same manner as I treated my stepmonster, errrr ... stepson.
