How unfair is it when your child always runs to the other parent? To you, their relationship appears better than yours. Is jealousy interfering with your parenting?
Most parents won’t admit that they can become jealous of the other one. But think about it. We get jealous when a co-worker or friend gets something we want.

Why wouldn’t we get jealous when our child wants to spend time with anyone but ourselves?
I believe we do get jealous. And if we aren’t careful, jealousy becomes the given factor which determines how we interact with our child.
Think about what you do when your child comes to you and asks for something (i.e., spending the night, iTunes card, money, etc.). How quick do you say “yes”?
Now you might think you are looking at if it works in the budget, with your schedule, but what about subconsciously?
Most of us want to be the one our children run to.
And when they don’t, our feelings are hurt. We get a bit defensive. We make decisions based on how “happy” our children will be when we give them what they want.
Is jealousy interfering with your parenting?
If there is any part of you that says possibly, then firm up your foundation with your child.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Firm up your foundation!
When you focus on what you are doing as a parent, you won’t have time to be jealous of the other parent.
How can you firm up your foundation with your child?
- Communicate admiration in love and respect.
- Praise the character of your child, not his/her performance.
- Build trust through consistency.
“What you do for your child counts. Firm up your foundation!”
