To think that DH should be able to discipline the DCs without input from me

DH is upstairs getting the DCs ready for bed and I'm having a well deserved 10 minutes on the sofa. DCs are having a crazy half hour and are acting silly, shouting and jumping round etc. All I can hear is DH repeatedly saying to them to stop, but they're still going strong and DH just repeats himself, seemingly oblivious to the fact that just saying the same thing over and over again isn't cutting it.

They play up for him all the time because they know they can. It really does my head in because then I have to come and intervene. Anyway, tonight I'm leaving him to it, but it's hardly a relaxing 10 minutes on the sofa when I can hear all this going on upstairs and it's just getting me really annoyed that he lets them get away with it's. If I say anything to him I know he'll just tell me that he told them to stop 🤷‍♀️

Rant over, just needed to get that out!

that sounds very frustrating for you. It would annoy me too. Have you had a proper conversation with him about it? Does he see a problem and want to address it or is he oblivious?

You're right to leave them to it OP. Just shut your ears and try to ignore the noise!

Leave it to him. He’ll work it out eventually. If you intervene he will expect you to always do so. Of course you might not like the way he resolves these issues but it is up to him.
