Or is it just mine?

He's grown up around women - his mum, softer than soft - wiped his arse for him up until 2 years ago when I met him - 3 sisters, all of which worship the ground he walks in and he can do no wrong because he's the baby of the family... well somehow now he's my baby to deal with and I can't be arsed with it. I can't work out if I'm just being ignorant or he really is just a spoilt twat?!

My 9yo nephew is here with me for a few days starting today - going through an awful lot at home, social services involvement etc dp comes home all is well until he gets up to do something, comes back a few mins later and nephew has come back to the lounge and sat in the seat dp was in. I hear dp asking him to move, I ask what's up, dp says it's nothing. I go back out and when I come back nephew has moved and dp is sat there. I asked if he'd made nephew move, he says again "I was sitting there" so I explain that he wasn't sat there so nephew chose to sit there, he shouldn't have made him move. Dp then gives a loooooong sigh and starts to move saying here you sit there if it's really that important. Then falls out with me.

I just feel like it's as though he thinks children are below him. This isn't the first of incidents like this.

Was it me being unreasonable?

I ask my kids to move from my seat if they have just pitched , and I have just popped to get something. At other times I have asked them to move because I want to sit in my favourite seat....I don't see the issue here...

Huge discussion on who should sit where..... yawn.
Fact is you've got a big baby in the house who whinges when 'his seat has gone'. I married a spoilt child too. He's history. You'll be pleased when yours is too. Meanwhile I wish you patience and wine. You'll need both in abundance.

I have my seat, DH his - if either DS sit there they know to move if we come into the living room! My Dsis sat in my seat Christmas night which meant I had to sit elsewhere - had to bite my tongue Grin

Op - as PP have said it wasn't your DP causing an issue it was your reaction
