[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like a perfect storm of little things building up to turn into a big blowout: 1. Overtired kid (and sounds like overtired adults too) 2. Feelings of being judged by inlaws 3. Communications issues between you and your DH 4. Hurt feelings over your son's comments Both of my kids have had strong parent preferences at times. I have not always been one or both's favorite, and it hurts - but I'm the adult, and it's my job not to show that hurt. For one, a big reaction feeds into the preference. And two, it's my job to love and take care of them whether I'm their favorite or not. No good ever comes out of trying to force something when everyone is tired. It is hard not being on the same page as your spouse. I hope you two can talk through things, either at home or with a therapist, to help you both get into a better place. [/quote]
