I totally agree with Jezza in this. But I am a single father, so I know how to deal with kids.
But if the mom does a good job keeping the kid in line, I don't see why you would need to disagree with them. Sounds like dude keeps hooking up with crappy moms. I am dating a single mother and she is on the ball. I am not trying to replace their father, obviously, but I am assuming the father role. She sets boundaries for her kids clearly, so I don't feel the slightest bit weird enforcing them, I just dont need to. She's on it.
I guess I could imagine a situation in which one kid is hitting the other and you tell them to stop and the mom says its fine I would disagree with her and assert my authority, but that sounds like a crappy mom anyways. Other than that I can't see ANY situation where I would need to disagree with her about how to raise her kids. It's none of my business if she raises them religious, I will always voice my opinions, and if they are racist, I will tell them they are dumbasses right in front of the mom, I just cant see why I would have to. If you really like someone as a girlfriend she should be what you consider a 'good person,' which makes the need to tailor her kids behavior disappear, because being a good person translates to child rearing and interactions.
If she lets them break their toys, I wont buy them new toys if one I got them gets smashed, and they certainly dont get to be crazy around my stuff. but I really honestly cannot think of why you are correcting someone so often on their parenting you can give the figure 19 out of 20 if you honestly considered her a good person.
