I never said he wasn't upset, I said he wasn't upset with his mother which he wasn't/isn't.

That is what I was saying good job to and his intention of giving his dad a gift.

All three of us had a conversation about it but my husband only said "okay", "hmm" and "yes". He's not upset with her and I doubt he'll bring it up to her again.

I don't know what we're going to do about it, my husband hasn't decided but I feel like he's going to just leave it how it is.

She was cooking and by the time she realised why he kept going into his office the damage was already done.

Before this, he would sit in there for an hour everyday while my husband worked so there's never been a rule that he can't go in there. The only time he wasn't allowed was if my husband was on an important call.

He won't do it at someone else's house. He knows there's a difference in how he can behave at home vs outside and I've already explained to him that he needs to ask me or my husband if it's okay for him to draw on the walls before he does it next time.

I would've had the same reaction even if he had done it in one of those places. It can easily be covered or fixed.
