Anyone else have a dh who becomes a referee rather than a supportive team player when there is some difficult stuff going on with teen dds?
I end up battling him as well as my daughters and he totally undermines my parenting! It’s really driving me mad!
It’s just the usual stuff like mess, not carrying plates through, leaving clothes everywhere, how late they can stay out but he always manages somehow to side with them.
They think the sun shines out of his rear end of course because he never tells them no. He has a very strong personality so it’s difficult to get my side across.
I get that he and they are really close but I feel sidelined and upset. This is not about a power struggle for his attention, I am pleased they have a good relationship, but I don’t think it’s good for them to be over indulged all the time. And I am beginning to feel like the family slave! What do I do? I’ve tried to talk to him about it separately and he laughs and rolls his eyes and says I am making a fuss about mothing!
