Q: Dessert during dinner
When finished with his dinner at home my husband will immediately have dessert. Regardless of whether or not I (or our 2 yr old) is done eating. This has never bothered me until now. Now the 2yr old will stop eating and say he is all done in an attemp to get some sweets. I don't mind him having the sweets, but I'd prefer it be after he finishes his main meal. I also can't stand the whining/potential tears when I say "no". (I'm currently 7+ months pregnant with our second, so my "just put up with it" limit is very low). Husband doesn't seem to care if 2yr old is upset. I finally said to husband last night (when he went for a cookie and 2yr old started to lose it), "It upsets me when you have dessert while ___ is still eating. I can't stand the reaction we are seeing from him right now." Hubby seemed put off. I later apoligized for snapping. He said he isn't wild about having his eating habits dictated by a 2yr old. What do I do/say at this point?
