Ed Young Jr tells us if permission is not granted, she will wait for you to come home. Then she asks the very same request. When she admits that her mommy said no, Dad, that is the moment of truth. If you cater to her, you are messing up. You are totally taking apart the unity of your coaching staff. You need to present a unified front. You and your spouse need to have shared decisions. Now if it is something that you want to discuss, you can say to your daughter she must wait for an answer until after you to talk with her mother. Then huddle with your spouse concerning the situation. But make sure that you present balance and unity. If you don’t, you are setting yourself for major, major problems.
Although it is hard to do, you have got to apologize to your children when you mess up. We may go too far or not far enough. A lot of times we get it right, I think most of the times we do. But now and then we are going to mess up. Ask your children for forgiveness when you have gone too far. They know you have messed up. They are just waiting, wondering if Dad and Mom will come clean.
