How do you handle behavioral issues with your teen… when he splits his time between two homes? Especially when the ex-wife or ex-husband hold completely different standards?

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

How are we supposed to be good parents… when it’s only a part- time job?

Well, for starters… be consistent with what you believe! If you’re divorced and your teen moves between two households, understand that you can’t control your “ex.” So stick with the rules… boundaries… and consequences that you believe to be right for your home.

Consistency will help you be the best mom or dad for your kid… whether you’re “full- time” or “part- time.” And some day …your son or daughter will thank you for stickin’ to it …and providing the stability they desperately need.
