I had a difficult day yesterday with DD going off on one. I did not sleep last night wondering how to deal with it. This morning she was all attitude again and whilst I was trying to deal with it I asked DH if he could quickly give DS his breakfast (a bowl of cereal). Anyway ... here's the email I'm sending him
^This morning I asked for your help and got none. Instead was met with the mysogynistic reply of "I have to go out to work". I didn't realise I'd married someone with such Victorian attitudes. It would have taken you 20 seconds to pour some crispies into a bowl and give your son his breakfast.
I needed your support but all I got was criticised in my handling of the situation and then over-ruled. This does not present a united front in the disciplining of our children and leaves me with even more of a mess to sort out once you are out the door. If you thought I was handling it wrong then the time for discussion about it is when the kids are not around.
I had already given DD the rules. I do not need you to come steaming in armed with only half the facts and making me out to be useless, weak and stupid in front of our children.
I'm sorry to be emailing this to you at work but you leave me no option as when I try to have conversations these days, you rarely let me get my point over if it's something you don't want to hear.
We both have hard jobs to do, today you made mine all the harder.^
Don't know if I should say anything about him just being a fairweather husband
