[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you need a united front. It makes my husband fume when our son is disrespectful toward me. I'm the primary caregiver, so I'm the 'safe person' to try crap out on but sometimes it goes too far especially during this time of social isolation.

If your child is not treating you respectfully, then she needs consequences and lessons on respectful ways to say, "no".  Your husband can role-play with her if it is too hard for you right now. It is 100% ok to not want hugs or kisses or help with crafts, etc. Absolutely her right. And you should support and celebrate her use of "No!" as it will be handy as she gets older. But as her parent, you deserve a respectful 'no' (unlike the 'NO!' she can give a pushy boy or playground bully).

So stop offering these things. Be loving and supportive, of course, but be a bit more hands-off. Let her come to you; and she will! You might be coming off as needy, which is repelling her. [/quote]

Thank you, this is an interesting perspective for me to consider.[/quote]
