Toddler acts up for dad

[Rachel19850]

I'm at my wits end! My DS is 2.5 years old. He's a dream and doesn't cause me any trouble until 6pm when his dad walks through the door. Once his dad is home he'll start doing things like screaming, throwing things, hitting out and generally being a little s*d! When my DH tries to discipline him he pays no attention to him at all and pretty much laughs in his face. I, on the other hand, very rarely have to raise my voice or discipline him. I think he just sees his dad as a play mate rather than a parent. I've tried talking to my DH but he gets very defensive about it as, in his opinion, he just comes home and plays with him for the few hours before bed. I'm getting so stressed out by it, to the point where I dread my hubby coming home as I know I'm going to have two hours of absolute hell!! Anyone have any experience of this? Thanks x

Could you persuade your DH to do the nice things in the evening like bathtime and reading books and save playtime for the weekends?
