I'm not enforcing my wife's tv rules for our boys during sleepovers
Is there a reason that you're not enforcing the tv rules?
My wife is too controlling. I am trying to be more of a friend rather than a tyrant.
You should always have rules. It teaches kids responsibilities and great adults.
Maybe, but rules are not needed if they want to spend the night.
I think she made the rules because she knows what's best for the boys. If you allow them to keep breaking them, they will learn that they can break rules anytime. I'd stick with your wife on this one.
