This is a first. Usually, when I parent my kids, my X interrupts and takes over. Tonight, she didn't.

I was bringing my kids home from parenting time. I brought my kids in the house. I informed my X the trouble we had with teasing, name calling, and retaliation. The discussion that occurred in the car continued. I told my son that it was not okay to do something wrong when his sister does something wrong to him. I think my son listened. My daughter apologized first, then he apologized. Then, I made my exit. I hope things stuck this time.

She did not interrupt. I can hardly believe it. I wonder what will occur the next coming days, if she will reinforce that or undo it behind my back.

Sounds like you did good. As long as you have that influence I wouldnt worry about what the ex does. Attempting to live by that very mantra myself these days.
