Did I handle this correctly?

FDH has the boys today, and I am working from home (Usually I am on site so the boys and I only see each other for about 20 minutes on Sundays)

Due to the Harpee and her crap they don't know me well, whoch I try to keep in mind. I am also the first person FH has ever introduced them to..

SS6 hit me in the face with his balloon... I replied "Well that was rude!" FDH made him apologize. (and yes I'm lucky that so far FDH handles things like that without making excuses)

But I am wondering if I should have handled it myself without FDH getting involved in order to set my own limits with them?

FDH doesn't have them very often so this whole me interaction with the SS's is still very new.

You did the right thing. It's best that SS knows that his father respects you and is not going to let SS disrespect you. I think you're off to a good start.

You handled it wonderfully. I've found that trying to handle it yourself without first establishing that the father is going to back you up and stand with you is a bad situation. Voice the concern and let him deal with it.
