My husband spoils our 6 yr old rotten. He only has to start crying and my husband gives him his own way. I obviously struggle with this as my husband can't see the long term damage he is doing to our child.
The problem is my husband has an extremely demanding job and works from home. This causes huge problems during school holidays. I try to keep the peace as much as possible but when son has a melt down I refuse to give in to him. My husband insists on stepping in and undermines me. Ends up giving in to our son, which in turn causes rows between us. I love both my husband and son but not sure how long I can continue living like this. I've tried to reason with my husband, but he can't see what he is doing wrong. I've also tried to reason with my son, but as you can imagine trying to reason with a 6 year old on a meltdown... well it never goes well. Thing is, he now also knows that all he has to do is to start making loads of noise and my husband will appear and just give him what he wants. Please, any advise would be more than welcome!
