Recently DS (nearly 5) has made a friend who lives up the road, who is a year older.
Now this child is constantly outside our house wanting to DS to come out and play - after school and pretty much all weekend.
Well, for various reasons I have been trying to limit this to just occasional half hours here and there, and last week I had a long conversation with DH about why.
Not only do I want us to actually spend some time with DS ourselves, especially at weekends, rather than him racing out of the door every 5 minutes, I also have some issues with the language / behaviour I have seen so far. OTOH DS is so keen and desperate for a friend, it seems unkind to not allow him to play sometimes.
Anyway, I went out to the supermarket this afternoon, was looking forward to coming home for nice cuppa and a few minutes sitting down, only to find DS rampaging round house with said child, when I had TOLD DH I didn;t want him coming in to play unless it was a prearranged invitation.
Apparently the child said that his Dad wasn;t home and his Mum was going out to work, so could he come and play
Actually that wasn;t true, but the fact that DH fell for it...I was speechless.
I really nearly did kill DH. I still may.
He thinks I was "overreacting".
Am I BU, really?
