fbpx How Do I Enforce Rules With Our Kids If My Husband Doesn't Follow Them?
Authored by Dr. Michelle Murray on April 5, 2022

Dear Dr. Michelle:

One of the rules with my children is no swearing. But my husband frequently curses which I feel sends mixed messages to our kids! How can I enforce the no swearing rule when it seems to be: do as I say, not as I do?
