Does anyone else deal with skid referring to themselves and your dh as "we" all the time. "We hope you have a good day" "we this,we that". I'm confused. Me and dh are the "we" in this family,not dh and skid. Sd8 is annoying with this.I want to put her gently in her place,but don't know how to respond

Ask her if that is the royal we. Or respond with "We are not amused" in your best English accent.

My SD6 does the "we" thing sometimes. There's a bit of an "us vs. them" thing going on in my house lately. SD sort of started it but my husband definitely fostered it. So if I take the baby to go somewhere SD asks, "Are WE going with them, Daddy?"

I don't know how to deal with it either. My husband makes it worse because he sides with SD when I try to enforce rules or tell her "no".
