Does your DH constantly undermine you?

DH does it to me with regards to disciplining the kids all the time.  And in front of them.  Last evening, for example, the kids didn't eat their dinner so it was decided that there will be no snack later on before bath time.  Then, while I give Brooke a bath. I hear him and Ethan in the kitchen doing what?  Getting a snack.  It's other little things like that but it burns me up because the children obviously don't listen at times as well as they could.  And should.  All these little things add up when you're referring to a two and a three year old. Such as running around in the kitchen.  Or any part of the house for that matter.  It's never okay with me, but sometimes it is and sometimes it is not with him.

Vent over.

DH does it too.  He always has to be the *good guy*.  Pisses me off too. 
When I bring it to his attention he apologizes.  Sometimes I don't even think he means to do it.  Still irks me nonetheless.  I can definitely relate to your frustration!  Being a mommy sucks sometimes...we are always the *bad guy*!

Joe and I do it to each other --- all.the.time.

He doesn't agree with the things that I let slide.  I don't agree with the things he lets slide.

We are DEFINITELY not a team --- and the kids know that!

Not yet. But he has selective hearing and chronic forgetfullness so I'm sure it's coming.

Actually, I was doing it to dh... I felt bad that I worked a lot of hours over a number of months and would let dd get away with a lot more than I should have ( nothing like mommy guilt!)...We talked about it and now we present a united front because we want dd to know that we are a team and that we both have authority over her day to day activities. ?Things are a lot better that way
