AIBU for fuming a little

It may just be that I need a slap and to get over myself but I'm a little annoyed.

So, teatime for DS. I've made his tea and he doesn't want it (he's 2). Despite leaving it with him, there's no joy so I take it away. DH now decides that DS ought to have a different tea. So he gets him out of his chair, makes him some scrambled egg and puts him back in his chair to eat new tea.
He's also not keen on the egg so now DH has given him a pile of duplo and is reading a story while trying to convince him him to eat.
I'm sat in the sitting room annoyed that while I'm trying to set a good teatime routine, DH has just ignored it and is being the 'nicer' parent.
AIBU to be a bit cross?

Tbh I don't think you abu, but neither is your dh. You need to decide togeather the way you parent both your child. I Would not make another meal but Would do toast. I have dd of similar age and its too young for the " eat what iv made or go hungry" route imo. Good luck tho, dd is a fussy eater so I know its not easy.

YANBU, I had a fussy\whiney eater & consistency was the key & wine for me

I would be very unimpressed with dp if he did that.

Ah! The old "nice/fun Daddy, strict/nasty Mummy" scenario. You are not the first, nor will you be the last to experience this.
