I made deviled eggs today, just a little snack. I gave my toddlers 2 each. My oldest told my boyfriend she wanted more. I said no because when she eats too much eggs she gets sick. I said she could have a rice patty for a snack since it’s healthy and yummy! She didn’t argue and the kids took the rice patty as they love them! My boyfriend started arguing with me “they don’t want that, they want more eggs.” Like seriously getting mad at me for not allowing them to have more. I explained my reasoning again, he argues more and then tells my kids “guess y’all just have to have these since mom is saying no”.

I personally felt like he was trying to paint a negative portrait of me to my children, like moms the bad guy. My issue is, my kids are my whole world. I do everything in their best interest. I’m not being mean, greedy, or anything like that. I just really don’t want to clean up vomit or have a sick toddler.

I didn’t say anything because I’m not trying to have an argument or fight in front of my children and chances are, I won’t address it later either. He stormed off to the room and I’m allowing him to have his moment, which he can have alone, Because I’m tired of entertaining his fits. Am I overreacting? Am I being too sensitive? We’ve been together for a while but he’s only known my kids for about 5 months (I wanted to wait because I don’t like men in and out or meeting my kids until it’s serious).
