Ex DH has been saying this recently whenever I try to talk to him about our DCs. Anything from mixed sleepovers with no parents there (DD at a friend's house NO NO NO), alcohol, staying out late, being late for school. DS1 is 16 and DD is 14. They are basically good kids but a few things like this have been cropping up recently.
Surely society / school expects parents to be in charge still at this age? Ex DH cannot see that he is taking the easy way out, or am I being too strict / controlling?
