he's trying to be the favourite parent

my dh is a very hands in parent to our littie one. much more so than he was with the older 4.

the trouble is he's seems to want to be the favourite and it's working.

I said only 6 snacks a day limit as she goes wild for them and I have caught him sneaking her extras. I even heard him whispering 'don't tell mummy!! and things like 'daddies best girl' which is a bit unfair to our other older dds. though they spoil her too to be fair.

she co sleeps too, snuggling into dhs arm pit, can't think why? and he chats to her when she should be settling off to sleep!!

I do all the boring stuff like vets visits for injections and washing her bedding and sheets but she loves him best!

aibu to buy my own packet of dreamies and sneak her some too just to keep it even.

My husband is exactly the same.

He has admitted he won't do the vet run in case she holds it against him. And he's always sneaking treats.

What can you do?

I feel you.

He insisted we got her spayed but refused to be the one to take her as it would "ruin what we have".

Grin Your DH sounds awesome!

But yes to the suggestion of buying her the Dreamies - she has worked out how to play you off against each other, the only solution is to go with it!
