Quote From: jettavSo in your opinion what is a good father? one who fights with the mother in front of his kids? One who plays fighting games with his young daughter? One who calls the mother names in front of the children? One who is away most of the time, spends, what was it? maybe once amonth or so with the kids? Well this is the criteria of this cute guy that you are sticking up for. Being cute has absolutely nothing to do with it and parenting takes 100% on BOTH parents part and yes, he is partly to blame as he is also the parent of this child. They both need to take parenting classes and become a parent to this child. If this guy was so tough, he would be standing up to this kid and not alowong her to disrespect her mother like this. Yep, it's his fault too. So everything that you saw about this man was nothing but Good? If he is such a wonderful father, then why doesn't he have the kids living with him? He may be somewhat cute, but of what I read, he isn't a good father! I sure the heck wouldn't want him to be the father of my children. Maybe you need to watch the show again.
watching the show i can see that every one was walking over the wife. she needs to take command a little. yes mark shouldnt have called her names in front of the kids. but seeing there home where were they to go to have there fight where the kids were not. and dose any one plann a fight or do they just happen...hummm i think that there cant be a fight unles both side are involed.
Doc Phil is 100 % right take everything away from the kid until she learns respect, and learns her boundries. then over time slowly when she earns them, give stuff back. if you only have one parent that inforce, punish , is stricked, it is like driving a car wiht only 2 full tiers. i am just saying that if the wife was more strick wiht the kids and not give in so much and be upfront and forceful with this kid there wouldnt be an issue.
