Default Just had my own phen rage...at my dad!
Hello, I am really frustrated right now, my husband is working today so it is just me home with the kids. Anyway, I asked my parents over as I had some pictures to show them and my daughter was mad about something and so she stormed off to her room and shut her door (she is 3) and so my dad, always spoiling her rotten, starts to go to her room right away and I had to yell at him a few times to tell him not to as he needed to just let her alone for a few minutes to have her little tantrum or whatever. I told him that it does no good to just give into her all the time which is what my parents both do, but he is worse than my mom. I feel if you pacify a kid all the time as soon as they have a tantrum than they are going to just think it is okay, he just constantly wants to pacify her because he does not want her to not like him. It's really annoying!! So, anyway, I am probably the bad mom now in his eyes. He was heading back to her room again and I had to yell at him again and finally bumped him out of the way and told him that I would talk to her since I am the mom! Does anybody else deal with issues like this? I am really getting tired of my parents (especially my dad) not respecting us as the parents! I really just want to go on a food binge right now, but luckily I do not have any food around the house worth binging on! LOL!
