my husband has this really childish thing about parenting.. he keeps proving that he is a better parent, always bragging about normal things that any father would do, if he helps with anything he does the same. most of the time i recognize this behavior and ignore it, or give him the praise he's waiting for. but there are those days when you're already doubting yourself, thinking you're not good enough or that you can do better but too exhausted to do so. what would you respond in such a situation when you're drained and have no energy or tolerance?
sometimes, i talk to him about this behavior and he thinks it's normal and i am being overreacting.
