Hi all,
In my last post, I talked about struggling with gentle parenting while juggling the terrible toddler tantrums. And got lots of helpful advice. So thanks for everyone's input, I was overwhelmed by your responses.
I think the real reason I've been feeling so frustrated with everything is my DH's approach to parenting. He loves being the fun Dad who lets my DS get away with being naughty.
I always have to be the one to say "no" and set boundaries. As soon as I'm not around DH always lets him do what he wants, even if I've previously said no.
So now my DS is having more and more tantrums when I say "no".
My part-time Nanny is able to listen and enforce the boundaries. So why can't my DH? It's like he enjoys undermining me and being the favourite.
I've spoken to DH about it and he always says he'll try to be better but he continues to do it in front of me which makes me question what he's like when I'm out and they're alone.
AIBU for being angry about this?
