10 Reasons Why My Partner Is the Playful Parent

As I sip my second glass of wine, I must say this with affection: my partner can be somewhat oblivious when it comes to giving my role as a Stay-at-Home Parent the respect it deserves. He is generally a kind and considerate person, which is why I cherish him. However, there are moments when I feel the urge to wield my frying pan in frustration.

In our household, he has earned the title of the “fun parent.” When the kids are ready to break the house rules and seek some excitement, they know exactly who to turn to: dad. Meanwhile, when they need nourishment, comfort, or want to report mischief, they come running to me. I present to you ten of the most irritating ways that my partner makes my parenting role feel less enjoyable:

1. Saying, “Go ask Mom.” Really? You can’t just say no to our child who insists on taking a bath with the dog? Thanks for making me the bad guy.
2. Dismissing My Authority. When you come home after a long day and say, “Oh, don’t listen to your mother!” it undermines the discipline I’ve worked hard to establish.
3. Sneaking in Sugary Treats. After lecturing me about how sugar makes kids hyper, you hand them candy anyway. So, does that mean I can indulge in wine guilt-free?
4. Winding Them Up at Bedtime. There’s nothing quite like trying to calm a hyper four-year-old who’s just spent 20 minutes running around naked because you thought it would be fun.
5. Rewarding with Prizes. If our child gets a new toy every time we go shopping, I should be rewarded too! I think I deserve chocolate, new shoes, and a day off for all this stress.
6. Early Time-Out Release. When our little one freaks out for tying a spatula to the dog’s tail, and you let him out of timeout early, it just encourages more mischief.
7. Making Unilateral Decisions. You approved finger painting the entire refrigerator without setting boundaries, and now I’m left to clean up the chaos. Where are you when it’s time to fix this mess?
8. Skipping Bedtime Routines. Letting the kids skip brushing their teeth to avoid a fight? Two words: tooth decay. I still believe they should brush every night, especially after indulging in sugar.
9. Avoiding Diaper Duty. When the baby fills his diaper, you suddenly become invisible. It seems you have vanished into thin air—probably off to avoid the mess.
10. Offering Parenting Advice. Your suggestions on how to improve my job as a parent are appreciated—especially since you often disregard the house rules, like leaving your wet towel just a few feet away from the hamper.

In summary, while my partner brings a delightful sense of fun to parenting, it often comes at the expense of my authority and sanity. Navigating this dynamic can be challenging, but it’s all part of the journey of parenthood.
