My BF and I are currently at odds over our daughter. Let me explain...
A few weeks ago his mother bought her what I think has to be one of the most hideous baby outfits I ever saw. It's sort of a puce colored ensemble with black dots everywhere, with black zigzags on the bottom of the sleeve. Just awful. But being cordial and polite, of course I thanked her and pretended it was cute. Well anyway on Sunday I went to work and my BF had the day off so he was at home with her. I make it a habit to lay out her daily outfits the night before. The morning I left for work, I tell him that her outfit is laid out on her dresser and he says "OK." Soon as I get home later on that afternoon he immediately leaves to go to the store. I go check on the baby and...to my horror, he's got her dressed in that God-awful getup his mom bought. Why? First of all, he knows how I feel about it and secondly, I already laid out her outfit for the day. I pointed it to him that morning before I left and again he said "OK". Why the hell did he not dress her in it?
So anyway I change her clothes and put her in what was originally planned. When he comes home a few minutes later, he sees this and immediately goes on the defensive about why I changed her clothes. We have this big fight about it and he accuses me of not respecting his decision and being disrespectful to his mother. He threatened to change her back into what he put on and I threatened to throw his mothers outfit away (I wouldn't do that but I was angry.) How was I being any more disrespectful than he was when he deliberately disregarded what I took the time to lay out for her, even though he had originally agreed to it?
So now there's tension between us over this whole ordeal. Was I wrong? I don't think so.
If you're a parent, how much did you fight with your child's mother/father over things regarding them?
