I have two kids, who are 2 and 4 years old. And one thing I try to reinforce with them is that if mom or dad says "no" if they go to the other parent, the answer they will get is no. Which means if they ask my wife, and she says no, regardless of how I feel on the matter, I'm going to back her up. And I expect my wife to do the same. Well this morning we were getting ready to leave and 4 year old asked my wife if she could get out a game that always makes a mess. So my wife said no, immediately 4 turned to me and asked the same question. So I said, "No, your mom told you no." Which upset my wife, and I don't quite understand why. AITA?
