As parents you must discuss and agree that you will come to an agreement and decide between you whether your child can do something before giving her a response and then you must both stick to that decision. If one parent says yes and the other no, the child can become aware that they are able to play you off against each other.

I guess it all depended on what that something would be! Each parents set the rules for there own house. I think there does need to be consistancy to prevent the kid from being confused and walking all over either one of the parents, in most circumstances this isnt the case. The child needs to know that at your house this isnt how it is going to be and vice versa. If this something is something huge or something that you have been telling that child they need to work up to and earn then I think it is ok for you to express your concern when the other parent just gives in. (make sense) Know if we are talking like body piercings or tattoo, birth control etc..(you get my point) or something that should be discussed with the other parent and he/she goes ahead and does it anyway, I would be pissed off. If it is something small I would not worry about it. You dont want to make a big deal of the small things. Worry about the stuff we can control and not the stuff we can't. (still make sense)
