I can’t quite believe I’m posting this as it seems so ridiculous but here goes.
It’s 8:45. Im upstairs trying to get DD1 (age 2) to sleep who is struggling to settle. DH is downstairs with DD2 (age 7) playing on a computer game. DD2 has wet hair after her bath. I shout down its bedtime now and carry on trying to settle DD1.
After another 10 mins and DD1 following me downstairs, I lose my temper and shout they both need to be in bed now.
I take DD1 back up and DH tells DD2 to go to bed. I ask whether she’s had her hair dried and cleaned her teeth and he says no because I said she needs to go to bed. I said yes but obviously not with wet hair and he tells me I’m trying to gaslight him because I clearly said she needs to go to bed so that’s what he did.
I tried to explain that she has her hair dried or brushed and cleans her teeth every night before bed so how can he not see that is what needed to happen first.
But he won’t back down, and is convinced he is right and I am being unreasonable.
AIBU?
