I posted this in chat last night and got no responses. I think my husband is overstepping by shouting at my daughter. We've been together for 7 years but only lived together for 18 months. He came back after his stop and said that he felt low down the pecking order in our house, ie after my daughter. Shouldn't she be my first priority before him? She's having a hard time with her dad as he has a go at her for minor stuff, to the point where she barely wants to see him. But I don't want her feeling like she's being got at here as well.
Also he said that I'd shouted at his kids in the past so what's the difference. I haven't. I may have been a bit sharp with them after asking them to do the same thing for the millionth time (something he should've been telling them, not me. And yes, I made that point to him).
Don't want to ruin the entire weekend but am lying in bed still feeling pretty mad. Both of us thinks the other is in the wrong.
t's Saturday night and I'm in bed at 9.30. Had a row with husband as he snapped at my daughter for no reason and upset her. He's been a grumpy bastard all day and I'm especially sensitive to her needs at the minute as she's getting a hard time off her dad. So husband fucked off out in a strop for an hour and has come home all apologetic but I honestly can't be arsed with him. This is my second marriage and it really shouldn't be this hard. Was really looking forward to a nice Saturday night in with some fizz and a movie but here I am in bed early. Feel like the weekend has been wasted.
Cheer me up with what you're doing this fine Saturday night. Or alternatively tell me you're having as shit a time as me.
