To be LIVID at the hypocrisy of DH??

[Citrus81]

A while ago DS (11) wanted to watch a movie about super heroes that was an 18. I said no at first but when I watched the trailer, I must admit I did consider it. I think it was Wolverine or something. But DH was liKE "no, no way, definately not, movies are 18's for a reason, bad parenting to let him watch it, over my dead body" etc etc etc. I backed down and agreed it would be wrong to let him watch it.

So last night DD (13) said she wanted to order some DVDs and wanted DH to "help" her. This morning he tells me "oh, she ordered nanny mcphee - and I can't remember the other 3.

So I look in his emails this morning and find an order from amazon confirming his order for nanny mcphee, Hot Fuzz (15), Paranormal Activity (15) and - wait for it - LAW ABIDING CITIZEN WHICH IS A GRUESOME 18!!!

I have text and asked if the DVD is for her, he won't answer me.

I know I'm not being unreasonable to be livid, but I sure as hell wanna vent about it. It will be going straight back but I will not forget this hypocrisy in a hurry. I'm livid. He preaches to me all high and mighty about parenting, Mr fucking Hollier than thou ......

I am 33 and thinking about Paranormal Activity still makes me want to hide behind the sofa

Posie - that was my thought. You write as if the DD is his and the DS is yours. Is this the case?

My god you don't even sound like a family - why the division you/DS vs. DH/DD?

He sounds like a bully though.

I think you need to hop over to the relationship threads, you may be able to get some experienced advise about what you should do. this isnt normal or healthy and its certainly doing your children a major dis-service, good luck x

Citrus, your posts about this man suggest that this is a deeply dysfunctional, abusive relationship. And your children are old enough to pick up on both the way that he treats you, and the way that he treats them.

Please consider that this is no way to bring them up.
