I guess there was revenge for yesterday. S6 was resisting this morning – having tantrums and not wanting to eat, brush teeth , get dressed, etc. WHs tands there and and starts using a “sensitive voice” “what’s the matter buddy?” and stands there and doesn’t help. Has a sneer on his face. Says “When he’s with me everything is fiiiiiiiiine. I don’;t know what’s going on here.” I felt insulted. I clammed up before I defended myself but I let a zinger slip “That’s because when it’s with you it’s Disney Dad syndrome.” And he starts going on at me but I walk away.
Yesterday he was mad because S was telling him he was tired and H insisted on taking him 20 miles away to an apple farm. I started to ask S to comprimise with dad, WH tells me to stay out of it. I ask H to show me that he's listening to S and comprimising and he refused. He also refused to tell me when he would be back with S. So I basically held S until H would agree to be home by dinner.
And of course they were home by 3:30. So this morning was my punishment for that.
