Dd (8 Yrs) and ds (5 yrs) playing Nintendo switch and apparently me sitting in the room silently is enough to be blamed for them to lose game.
Ds tells me to leave the room. I told him that was very unkind and it hurt my feelings.
I say to my husband in a different room ‘if I’d have said that to my mother she would have my slapped my face off’ he responded it’s your fault because you speak to your own mum like shit so the kids are copying you.
This is completely untrue. My husband seems to blame me for all the dc bad behaviours. I just feel like a skivvy good for the washing, cleaning and school runs.
I’m the one that sorts out play dates, surprises for the kids- I’ve organised an Easter treat for them.

And then deal with your DH being an arse.

Going back to the children, I’d have done the same in saying it was unkind and hurt my feelings BUT I’d also have said don’t be so bloody ridiculous, I’ve not done anything, how on earth am I responsible for you losing the game? And I’d have expected a reply.

As for your ‘D’ H he’d have got an earful from me too!

Did you allow your five year old to continue playing with the Switch after speaking to you like that?
Try not to bring the Easter treat and other stuff into it. They can’t think like that at that age. Deal with one behaviour at a time.
