I find it disturbing that any man would exclude himself from disciplining his children. Handing the responsibility solely to the woman, in a two parent household, is a recipe for disaster. Nicola Mclean's boys may well acquiesce with her parenting approach in the short term. But as they grow into adults, the lack of the disciplinarian input of a father, will almost certainly manifest in their behaviour.

If a child is running around the restaurant, I'm telling the kid off. If the parent approaches me, then we'll deal with it outside

[@seandixon9321]

I feel sorry for her husband.

[@user-bp7xo1ki2x]

Feel

[@kellysong2256]

Unless there is a dire situation about to occur, I don't think it's appropriate to scold or try to discipline another person's child. If that child is trying to hurt MY child, or that kid is about to hurt themselves, I would step in. Otherwise, no

[@user-bp7xo1ki2x]

Unfortunately

[@JackassJunior627]

Totally agree

[@lucymcauliffe2483]

I volunteer for a charity and there is a teenager girl who hits the male volunteers not hard but she still hits them and i have told her off for that time.

Get Chuck Norriss to do it. Sheriff Chuck Norriss. With his cavalry sword. With his cavalry swordm on horseback in the middle of Rockay City

[@clairemacauliffecarroll263]

Both sides have a point.

[@pamelsims2068]

Not really. Nobody steps in to tell off children in front of a parent so long as the parent is seen to be making a real attempt to tell the child their behaviour is not acceptable and take steps to prevent that behaviour continuing. Teachers are expected to maintain order in our classrooms and we do it by using a consistent and fair approach. We cannot make exceptions for "Mummy's little darling".

[@pamelsims2068]

Anyone who deliberately prevents a parent from having equal responsibility for all aspects of parenting, including discipline, is disenfranchising that parent. Making them a less important parent in their children's eyes. That is coercive behaviour and damaging to the relationship they have with their children. Manipulative bullying of one parent by another and diminishing them in front of their own children. Appalling behaviour. That would be grounds for divorce and a custody battle!

no wonder her husband cheated

[@FlashySolution]

I’m with Nicola. I was totally expecting her on the right to be a big mouth.
