How do you handle different parenting styles? I am more direct and straightforward but refrain from telling his kids anything. I leave it to dad. Bio dad is lenient and has more patience and doesnt mind telling kids 4x to do something. I was raised differently and dont operate this way. i find his kids lazy and babied by him. I dont have kids but am biased and think i was raised a little better. Lol.. Either way, these are his kids and used to a certain style. They could have better manners etc. But again, i dont want to cause any waves. Bd says i am a nag.
