[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team DH, sending sick kid to daycare, how horrible for all.[/quote]

He’s not sick. He has a runny nose. We kept him out a day last week for it. I took those days off. Sending him today would mean basically him being there for 5 hours with the late arrival. He will play inside. DH meanwhile is dragging him sledding now. I’ve missed many days of work staying home with him and taking him to the doctor, and DH never does those appointments. [/quote]

There's a lot to unpack  here

My view:

1. It's okay for either parent to decide to keep a kid home so long as they aren't putting the burden on the other parent for childcare.

2. If he's well enough for school he's well enough to go sledding with dad 
3. Your husband should not shout at you slam doors, accuse you of being a bad mom. That's abusive and destructive behavior. He doesn't get to take his mommy issues out on you and you have to have a serious chat about that.

4. The heart of the issue seems to be you're tired of DH playing Mr. Fun Guy while doing none of the hard part of parenting all while calling you a bad mom. Again time for a come to Jesus moment and therapy. There's work to be done.[/quote]
