Two forms, two filters. You need to disqualify the firing of the second filter when you do the push. Push a flag to the parent form when you perform the update (from the filter on the child form), then qualify the filter on the parent form that pushes to the child form to not fire when that flag is present.
This is most commonly implemented using a field named 'Command' or something similar. All you need to pass that flag is a display only field where you can put it.
