Joan: When we first got married, Wally didn't want to discipline Max at all.
He didn't want to be the bad guy.
Joan: But you can't live with kids and not say NO now and then.
Wally: You mean every day.
Val: Or in Max's case, every HOUR.
But what I remember from the older strips, it was Joan who couldn’t say no to Max. She was full of ideas like, give him more options, don’t restrict him, blah blah blah. It was Wally who finally got her to understand she has to set boundaries for Max (and enforce the rules).
