[quote=Anonymous]FFS. Yes, OP obviously didn't handle it well. She knows that. OP, talk to your DH about how you can BOTH deal with DS's rudeness. He's 3 and old enough to speak to any adult, particularly a parent, appropriately. DH needs to be on your team though, and not just reveling in being the preferred parent (if he does that). It's fine for your son to have a preference, it's not fine for him to yell at you or otherwise be rude. I was the strongly preferred parent for my daughter and I saw that it stung my husband. You have to kind of try to get over it though. It will pass. And ignore your ILs, and think about whether to ask your DH to ask that they not comment on it anymore. It is a very normal thing, plenty of posts on this board about the phenomenon.[/quote]
