[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH was doing bedtime with overtired 6 year old who ended up in a total meltdown, as it happens with overtired children.  DH attempted to comfort DS for a little while, then went to our older child (they share a room) for their end of night conversation/cuddle, leaving DS sobbing. I texted to see if I could come in, and said it was really hard to keep listening to DS cry. DH responded no, but I went in anyway, and rubbed DS’s back until he eventually calmed down.

DH is furious because he said no and I did it anyway, and because I didn’t leave him alone during bedtime.

I fully admit I did both of these things. However, I think it’s weird and controlling for one parent to tell the other to stay away from an upset child.

We’ve been to therapy. He changed a lot of his parenting approaches that I found really troubling, and I’ve really stepped back and let him handle things without interfering. Clearly we both still have work to do.

What I want to know is, in partnerships where you feel like things are good and you trust your partner to handle the kids, does your partner ever say no, you can’t come comfort a crying kid? And beyond that, would you ask, or just enter the room?
