[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would expect a united front. But choose your battles wisely. Having a preference for dad to put her to bed is not rude.[/quote]

It depends how she expressed her preference.

OP, I would expect my husband to set her straight. It can often make more of an impact when the parent who was not spoken to intervenes. That being said, you should start ignoring her for now. She's probably seeing it upsets you and doing it for a reaction at this point.[/quote]

PP that asked if I cry in front of her, of course not. I try to keep my reactions neutral but I don’t want to raise a beat, so I will tell her in a very firm voice that she is not being kind and that’s not ok. I wish my husband would do they same. I feel like his silence is viewed as complacency.[/quote]

I agree with you. If she's mean to you then say she's not being kind. I'm surprised your husband is ok with it. Rudeness and not kindness to anyone is not ok. I would talk to him about that in general and not just in a "she's hiring moms feelings" kind of way. So he just lets her say whatever? From your end I would not ask for a hug or kiss more than once a day at bedtime. And yes she's doing it for attention and to see the reaction. When my 4 year old does it just leave the room and if dh is in earsh he mentions how we need to be kind and civil to others. We don't have to like them but we shouldn't be mean. [/quote]
