[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with those who have said it was important for DH to support DDs wishes in this moment. As another poster said, she wanted to be heard and supported, not ignored and defended against her wishes.

I understand the impulse to want to yell at the boys and it isn’t fair that they didn’t face consequences but retaining your daughters trust is so, so important. She knows that she can talk to DH and trust him to respect her. If he was to yell and make a scene against her will she would have felt humiliated and likely would not confide in him if this were to happen again. [/quote]

This is my feeling as well. If dad went against her wishes then he would be violating her confidence in him and she may not go to him in future situations. I was very shy at that age and I think I would have been traumatized if I confided something like that to a parent who then went against my wishes.

That said, I liked something a PP said about making this an ongoing lesson. As a family they can discuss how in the moment dad wanted to respect her decision, but that in the future mom and dad want to encourage her to speak up (or allow an adult to do so). Reinforce that those boys were absolutely in the wrong and this type of behavior deserves repercussions. [/quote]
