I'm just catching up..making my way through your recent posts. I just want to say, and I know it doesn't "help" the sitch, that I understand your frustration and anger with the bedtime routine. I understand you wanting your baby to get to bed at a reasonable time and if your H was thinking about what's best for S5, he'd want him to get the proper amount of rest too. It's easy to point out what you could've done better and given your H leeway on, but it doesnt seem to matter how reasonable and how much rope you give him. He continues to do what he wants regardless of the consequences.. S5 not getting enough sleep, undermining your authority with your children. I dont get it. I dont understand why your H's best "friend" is his son. Parents aren't friends first.. they are parents!! So, I understand GF and I think you handle it much better than a lot of mothers would. Your H is creating a "us against her" sitch in your house and that's just wrong.
Hang in there. Maybe you can bring this issue up at your next C session?
