Feeling enraged.

[ALMummy]

This morning DS was drinking some juice. I asked him to sit at the table with it as he often spills drinks on the carpet. He didnt and then spilled what was left on the carpet as per usual. He burst into tears and demanded some more. I said no. Runs down to his Dad and tells him. Dad comes up and in front of DS tells him I am being unfair and gives him some more juice.

What would you feel or do in this situation?

To clarify DS also has a water bottle that he has constant access to so it is not a case of me witholding a drink when he is thirsty.

why didn't he sit at the table like you asked?

How old is he AL?
I think enraged is a bit over the top.
As parents, we should always back each other up, but it's very hard if you disagree

I dont know but I was dressing his sister so didnt see that he hadnt.

It is a constant thing johnso. He always over rules me if he thinks my decisions are unfair to the point that no matter what I say no to DS will run straight to his Dad knowing he will overrule me. I said no to smarties before breakfast this morning......Guess What?

Then that is unfair, AL, he is undermining your authority and you must explain that to him.
It is important that your children are sent clear messages, and imo part of making them feel secure is that mum and dad back each other up

Have you thought of laminate?
