DH & me at loggerheads re: cuddling/hugging DS. DH thinks he is mummy mard & that I encourage this by cuddling/hugging him when he cries/whinges/whines. He won't cuddle him when he's crying unless it's something obvious like he's fell over and bumped his head etc. He says theres no point as he doesn't stop whinging/crying/whining anyway so just ignores him then moans at me when I pick him up and comfort him (he stops for me most of the time)
My argument is that I am with them 99% of the time, know what is and isn't mard crying (yes he is a mummy mard but like I say say, spends 99% of his time with me) therefore if my gut is telling me to cuddle I should cuddle and not necessarily do what DH says.
He says I don't listen to him and am not always right (which in some cases is true)
Any thoughts?
