How would mother react to her kids swinging from a chandelier?

: How would the typical mother react to her kids swinging from a chandelier?
Take into consideration that the biological father,who is several years younger than the mother DID give his permission. The kids range in age from 10-13 years old by the way. The mother is a mature 35 while her husband(father) is only 28.
Would you agree with the father sas to give the appearance of a united front or demand the kids get down immediately?

sorry to say but this father is an idiot. i’d demand them to get down and ask dad why he thinks this is okay, and why he is so immature for his age

What kind of parent gives their kids permission to be destructive? I would tell them to get down immediately and then I would tell my husband to stop being immature.

Honestly, if I saw my kid swinging from the chandelier I’d probably bust out laughing. BUTTTTT, that is NOT something we do in our house; it can cause major problems. If dad wasn’t around I would tell them to get down immediately, but you say dad gave his permission (so not okay). In this case, I would say to maintain the unified front in regards to not forcing them to get down immediately but maybe mom could have said that they need to finish up their monkey business and the get down! before the ceiling comes down with them. No matter what the situation (unless there is imminent danger) it is always best to not undermine the other parent. Especially when the other parent is the only biological parent. It will cause conflict both in the household and in the children’s heads. Mom really needs to talk to dad about the parenting situation in private. If they have these conflicts in front of the children, I doubt it will be long before she starts to hear, “You’re not my mother”.

I don’t do “united front” with things that are potentially fatal.

I would tell them to get down before the thing fell on them and killed them.

And the father would get such a look. :o)

If my daughter was swinging from the chandelier, I would tell them to get down – that is dangerous! But I wouldn’t tell them off since they got permission. A 13 year old swinging from a chandelier – that child is immature, forget the father!

Yes that’s a great idea, all parents should unite through stupidity, it doesn’t matter why.

28 and yet acting 18. lol. If it were me i’d say “get down, this is not how we behave!” I’d also tell the father not to give the child permission to do such stupid things.
