All 3 of our kids are adults. 2 still live with us, 1 has a wife and child. I expect a certain level of respect regarding this home and myself. No matter what the issue is, my husband tends to side with the "children", can always see "their side", even though it can be blantly obvious that they are acting outside of the realm of acceptable. I'm talking things like not even rinsing out dirty dishes, expecting me to have a refrigerator full of food. My kids aren't up front rude, they just don't do anything that they absolutely do not have to do and my husband always has an excuse for them. He thinks I am too hostile and angry and I should just let life take care of itself. His thought is "think pink", "it will all come out in the wash", a real Rodney King type when it comes to the kids.
Do you think he should support me as long as I'm the one picking up the slack as long as I'm not being rude or disrespectful to the kids? Does he need their approval more than mine?
