to think that ds is acting like a spoilt brat

[emkana]

It was the school fair tonight, until 7 pm, I was helping. Dh was there briefly, but left at 6.30 pm to pick up ds from MIL and go home. The dd's stayed there with me and we arrived home about 7.10 pm. I phoned dh from the car and he said "do you want to get some food" I said no I didn't have any money and I wanted to get the children into bed first. At home dh was all right at first, but then got in a huff complaining how hungry he was and how nobody had been taking any notice of his hunger. Usually he puts ds to bed, but tonight I took over and said to dh "you can go and get a takeaway then" (which is what we usually do on a Friday) Instaed he plonked himself in front of the TV. 20 mins later I went down and after much umming and ahing he said what he wanted to have to eat. So I made a remark that I couldn't see why he hadn't just gone to get it if he was that hungry. Which led to dh now having a complete strop, saying he doesn't want to eat anything...

Tell him to make himself some toast.
And remember there is no pudding for tantrummers.

Maybe low blood sugar? I get stroppy when I'm hungry and then can't make a decision about what I actually want to eat. Cup of tea and biscuit, then review takeaway choices!

I let him stew and now he's gone off to get fish and chips
