[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on Team Dad with regard to not needing to shower.  An 8 year old can get away with it for several days.

However, he shouldn't be questioning you in front of the kid.  United front and all that.  As the kid gets older, he will play the two of you off each other to get what he wants. [/quote]

Agree. And DH will be the one who has to deal with the kid today, so who cares. For today anyway.

Tell DS later today that he needs to shower every night, period, and there will be consequences if he does not.

It is an issue between you and the kid- don’t make into a marital issue. [/quote]

Yeah, but do you really think it was OK for him to forcefully contradict me? This wasn't an argument about whether the kid has to shower every day or not, or when that should be - he just got a bee in his bonnet, for whatever reason, when he heard me send DS to the shower. (Note: they did not actually leave until a full 45 minutes after this argument.)[/quote]
