We're mid 30's. I'm a man, she's a woman. My son who is 6 in a fit of anger said "dad doesn't even care about anything except (my hobby)". I certainly do care about my family very much and I sacrificed a lot. I got upset at my wife because I felt she should have defended me. I would never allow my son to say the same thing about her hobby. And her hobby is something we've argued about because I feel she does it excessively - like I can prod at this if i want to but I don't. To me, it's a disrespectful mean thing to say.
She feels that it's a neutral thing and there's no reason to be upset.
Am I over reacting here?
tl;dr I think my wife should defend me if my kid talks about me in such a way. She thinks it doesn't matter.
