    discipline your own kids, since you gave birth to them. he'll discipline his own since they are his flesh and blood. i mean really why would your kids or his kids want to be disciplined by people that are only related because their mother or father got married to that person. i think step parents should only say kind words to the step children and after that shutup. i mean come on, kids are already traumatized since both their real parents aren't together anymore. so he'll use his tactics for his own, you use your own. done deal, as simple as that.

    i'm no longer partial to spanking. i think of there is an element of "violence" that comes while a determine "guy or woman" inflicts soreness and worry onto a newborn using their hands or an merchandise like a belt. i think of there are greater healthy counsel on a thank you to discipline a newborn like grounding, taking specific privileges away...that style of element. there is likewise a threat that your daughter would experience envious which you have given her stepmom the marvelous to punish her with spanking. If that's no longer your daughters journey in coping with punishment, this would probably activate you. No newborn or 8 300 and sixty 5 days previous desires to be spanked. No grownup desires to instill worry that way. I not at all have been given spanked. My parents used a tone of voice and that "eye look" to chat while they have been displeased with our movements. it is all it took and all of us grew to become out purely high-quality. sturdy success to you
