[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These whine-fests are never ending. Have you never left your children at home for a weekend with your husband in charge? If not, why not? When you arrive home and all the kids are accounted for and no one had to go to the ER, it’s all good. His way might not be YOUR way, but isn’t that okay? To the super planners who posted…You need a “plan” to go out to dinner? What’s the problem with, “Kids, grab your coats, we are going out for dinner tonight.”[/quote]

It’s like: I arrive home after a night out and its 9pm and kid hasn’t eaten dinner and DH is expecting me to make it.

Or I arrive home and its 10pm and kid isn’t in bed (guess who gets to handle the fallout)

Or I arrive home and there are dishes everywhere that nobody else will do.

Just go to bed.[/quote]

So it's like a game of chicken as to who's willing to neglect the children the most?[/quote]

+1 wtf is wrong with this poster? if you didn't want kids, you shouldn't have had kids.[/quote]

-1 If you can't go out and come home at 9pm and go straight to bed and have your H handle parenting you are a terrible parent and a f'd up person.

If you want kids you need to let their father parent them, stop being such an insane control freak.[/quote]

Wanting a kid to have dinner before 9 (or dinner at all) is being a control freak? Wow.[/quote]

Yeah, either that poster is a troll or is projecting.  Like, if you come home and rant at your DH because the kids had cereal and ice cream for dinner that night, I'd say unclench.  But she said her DH hadn't fed them and it was 9 (presumably several hours after their normal dinner time).  To the PP with this DH -- that's not junior-partner parenting, that's just being an utterly selfish a-hole.  There were no indications you were marrying this kind of person?[/quote]

I don't believe this. No kid would let it get to 9 without demanding dinner or something to eat. [/quote]

Exactly, you know they ate they just didn’t eat the exact dinner. Mommy wanted. Controlling mommy wanted exactly 1/3 vegetables 1/3 complex carbs, 1/3 low, fat protein.

Could you even imagine it being 9 o’clock at night and your wife goes in on you?

Girl go to bed![/quote]
