Kids will be kids.
Sometimes they get in moods, and sometimes they’re flying. That’s why this mother is upset after her husband called their daughter a ‘wimp’ for wanting to come home from a sleepover early.
Taking to Mumsnet to vent, she said:
“DD is having a sleep over with her friend. She was dropped off yesterday and slept ok but is tearful this morning and needs picking up. I am working, DH is not so have asked him to go collect her. He is disappointed at not getting a day free and has huffed off muttering about DD being “such a wimp”. She is 7. AIBU in thinking this is not wimpy – it is normal for a 7 year old to sometimes find being away from home tough. She has slept over at family houses before but this is the first non-family sleepover.”
Many mums replied saying that her husband was just upset that he’s not getting a free day.
One said:
“Of course your daughter is not a wimp but…your husband is not being totally unreasonable to be slightly miffed at not having the time to himself he thought he was getting but he could have handled it better.”
While another said that they’d be annoyed if their free day was taken away from them too:
“I’d be pissed off too. Why isn’t he allowed to be pissed off that his free day is no longer a free day? She’s not injured, or sick, in pain or in danger. If he didn’t go and pick her up, chances are she’d get over it and be fine.”
What do you think of this? Would you be annoyed?
