Perhaps at some time as a father or mother you have felt that you are the 'bad' of the film and it is possible that always having this role exhausts you. It is normal. Educating children is not easy, it is a long-term commitment that requires a lot of perseverance, patience, firmness and large doses of love. You don't have to be the bad guy in the movie, far from it, but you do have to be that father or mother who educates the children so that they develop correctly in all aspects.
You may think that no matter how many times you say things to your kids, they won't listen to you anyway. Lack of confidence in parenting can prevent parents from intervening. They fear that their child will not show up on time out or that they will not listen when privileges are taken away and that they will be left as the 'bad'.
If the consequences are not effective, you will have to evaluate the reasons why your discipline is not working. Avoiding discipline will only make the problem worse and it is essential that you gain sufficient skills to discipline effectively.
Will he think you're the bad guy? One of the biggest parenting mistakes is looking the other way when something happens. In the short term, your child may think that you are bad for not letting him play or for taking away his favorite toy. However, in the long run, it is the best for him and is essential to help him learn. Sometimes when your child is mad at you, it means that you are doing your job well.
You don't have to always be the bad guy, because in reality, you are not being bad. If your partner allows your child to succeed after a behavior problem, you are likely to feel bad for longer. It is important that both you and your partner discipline children in the same way, going the same way. You must be united. There must be rules in the home and they must be followed, in case of infringing them, the negative consequences must be put into practice.
