OMG HaWho, your husband had better communication and assertiveness skills than me. I like your suggestions. So simple. And sure if that doesn't work I will leave her a letter !!!! Haha.
Like you my W handles the majority of kid stuff. She works school hours so is there more. I don't think she deliberately undermines me, more so she does not consider me as equal. Little by little I am chipping away at this and things have improved but still a way to go.
Thank you for admitting this and for sharing what worked for H. I have on a few occasions let her know I am dealing with it and asked her to go.
I like the pre warning. At the moment we are parallel parenting and don't seem able to discuss it as a team. To be fair she does support me with the boys. But this undermining is one of my pet hates or triggers.
