We were at bs10's soccer game today,and were sitting by an annoying little kid who was being rude. Dh says to me "what's with that kid, I can't stand his whining!"...I wanted to tell him that his daughter is a total whiny brat.Last week at my son's game,sd8 did nothing but whine and complain.I do not understand how dh can look past his daughter's poor behavior,but notices the same crap that another random kid does,who is half sd8's age. I practically bit my tongue off holding back my words!

My husband often notices bad behaviour in public and says, "If that was my kid......" and then goes on to say how he would correct the behaviour. However, if SD6 does the same kind of thing, he ignores it or makes some excuse as to why it's okay.

I totally get your frustration.

My DH was nitpicking at BS4 yesterday and I told him he was being ridiculously hard on him, that the kid can't be perfect. DH said "Oh but if it was SD16 you'd want to bring the hammer down" WTF DH?? SHE'S SIXTEEN! There's a BIG difference between 16 and 4. BS acts like a very typical 4 year old and is actually VERY well behaved AND at 4 is 2,000 times more neat, clean, trustworthy and motivated than SD16.

Funny thing is, later on yesterday afternoon we had some friends over who have a 5 year old and a 7 year old. OMG... they were a freaking whirlwind... screaming, running, actually knocked a picture off the bookcase in the living room and broke the frame, helping themselves to food in the fridge etc. After they left, DH was like "Dang! I could not handle them for even 1 minute! Those kids are nutso!" I reminded him to remember just how wonderful BS4 actually is the next time he wants to nitpick at him.

Geesh!

You actually let her get her way? I would've told her she didn't need to visit anymore if she thought things are so bad at your house. Theres no way I'd take away her chores just to get her to like coming to your house.

Unless you did it to get your husband to see how ridiculous he is?

Skids know EXACTLY how to manipulate parents in each home. They must be stopped, but rarely are, due to the bio parents wanting to screw with their exes. Skids will get the shock of their lives while out in the real world,when no one accommodates their bs!!
