So Xmas is a stressful time etc. Our ds was in hospital yesterday with low Sats and it’s an ongoing thing but not ideal at this time of year.
Tonight he was hyper. Fell out with his teenage brother. He’s 6. And my dh didn’t say goodnight to him or get involved with the whole Santa cookie and milk thing Cos he was angry that 6yo was cheeky to him.
Fwiw I am a stickler for manners and good behaviour but ffs that’s being precious in my eyes. Tell me I’m wrong? Please. Cos I’m struggling to understand how you can’t help a 6 year old sprinkle reindeer dust!!
Or does this time of year mess with everyone’s rationale??

Your DH is being daft, he needs a little Christmas spirit :( Hope your boy has a fantastic day tomorrow and his health improves Flowers

I agree, tonight of all nights is a good time to let things go in my opinion x

Your DH is being a stroppy dick and he'll only be teaching DS to behave the same way. He should have spoken to DS calmly about being cheeky then let it go. Not strop like he's the 6 year old.

Yabu for sprinkling 'reindeer dust' that is no doubt more plastic glitter littering the environment. Sprinkle some lichen instead that they actually eat and is safe for other animals.

Your dh is supposed to be the grown-up here and your son is 6 ffs. It is Christmas which is supposed to be about kids / families. I don't think you really need to ask OP as it blatantly obvious to me. Hopefully it gets sorted and you all have a fab day.

Don’t panic, it was an environmentally friendly reindeer dust bag we bought from the school fete that was made up of solely oats and cranberries I think 🤣
No sparkles like we did with my other kids before we all became more savvy 🤓

Your husband sounds like he's the one who's six years old... Hope you're all feeling better tomorrow.

Pushpushpoosh · 25/12/2019 00:41

He is being U it's Christmas ffs is he your son's dad?

Also why are posters assuming the reindeer dust isn't environmenally friendly I've seen rudeness twice about it on here tonight now Jesus ask first before putting on your judgy pants!

Yeah he's being a miserable fucker. 6 is the perfect age for all the fun stuff. Let him sulk.

Thank you all for your responses. I think the thing that is upsetting me is I think this may be the last year ds believes. He won’t remember his dad behaving like this. Which is the most important thing. I will. It’s not my style to carry it in so down to experience I guess
