DP decided to stay up to 2 am playing Xbox so he's tired.
Our 2 year old keeps waking up early, he knows this. And DS is ill ATM and has a horrible cough waking him up several times a night so he came into our bed at about 3am.
Ds was fidgetting in bed and DP basically had a tantrum, starts muttering "FFS DS THIS IS PISSING ME OFF" and stuff like that and then basically argues with him. "Stop doing that FFS its annoying" "move your arm ffs DS" etc. Arguing with an ill 2 year old FFS.
He thinks I'm not disciplining DS properly because I don't shout at him, I think DP is being a wanker and he does this tantrum shit all the time.
DS behaves a lot better when it's just me, he does get told off but I speak to him like a 2 year old not a teenager I.e, count to five then timeout, distract him from naughty thing, explain we don't do that because its naughty/dangerous/not nice.
That's right isnt it? You don't whinge at toddlers and tell them they are annoying and pissing you off. (Even if they are! )
So I'm on the sofa with DS because I can't deal with dp being a moody dickhead and speaking to our son like that, its not nice to be around.
It's all the time and I'm sick of it. 2 year olds are annoying but that's life surely? They're only small so we need to teach them how to behave not argue with them as if they're adults

I do have concerns about it.
When DS was a week old, dp finally did a night and I heard him saying "you're not going to fuckibg dictate my life like this" to him 
I went mad and we broke up. But put it down to stress of having a new baby.
We only got back together properly a few months ago but I guess its a case of once a wanker, always a wanker.
I think he thinks its normal, his mum is the same.
He does do stuff with DS and they both seem to enjoy it (park, football etc) but only the easy "fun stuff" I guess though he will do his dinner and nappies and stuff but gets in a strop if DS plays up a bit, as. 2 year olds do

To be fair I was also up late watching films in bed BUT the difference is I know it was my fault I was so tired not ds's so didn't take it out on him and just got on with trying to settle him.
I don't have a problem with him gaming, he only really plays it after DS is in bed and he does help with DS at nights its the fact that he has a strop about it and his temper and moods that brothers me, its like he's incapable of handling any of the stress that comes with children. It's hard to explain but for example he will get up with DS in the night about half the time or less but, when he does I hear him whining about it and getting in a mood, swearing etc, he also ignore ds for ages first and then DS is wound up and won't settle and he always takes the easier at the time option like the other night he got him up to watch TV and gave him a sausage roll in the middle of the night 
to make him be quiet I guess, but maybe the reason he's getting up is because he can play and watch TV and eat instead of sleeping.
It's the temper tantruma from a 25 year old man that bother me, its not nice to live with and not fair on DS.
I think telling a 2 year olds they're annoying is really mean.
