New here so take it easy on me. In essence two children (4 and 2) compete for who’s going to get me to do bed.
Wife and I always do bed together but the last couple of days it’s peaked to a point where the eldest was with her and she’d gone downstairs to cry. Baby boy kept walking in on me doing the youngest and even asked whys mummy crying. Part of me was dying inside but I didn’t crack and walked him down to help mum and get a story about mum stubbing her toe etc etc ...
It got a bit messy but both for got down ok. This is on the back of being told to f**k off yesterday (not the children obv) when a similar situation arose ...
I suggested that she had a night out with a friend / or that I had a night out with a friend so that it could work either way with the kids having just one to do bed ... met with a No. I tried suggesting other things, but was met with “don’t want to talk about it”
Ps I’m not stupid. I know that something bigger is up but I just need some help ...
