As it’s makjng ds ride and shouty himself
And it’s also makjng my life harder as a sahm as I’m the one dealing with the way ds thinks he can shout and be rude
But really he’s learning it from his dad

For example this am
We are all getting ready for our days
There’s aload of bingo balls all over ds floor

I got that toys thinking it would be a good way of helping him learn and recognise the numbers

Anyway dh says tidy them away
And ds says no

He can be difficult and testing and sometimes he even says this with a half smile in his face

And straight away dh will launch into shouting

Don’t say no to me
Do as your told etc

Which then makes him cry

But it doesn’t really help in the long run
Just turns ds into a shouty biy himself and the tone he uses at times is terrible

Don’t get me wrong ds is not like his all the time

So anyway I’ve said to dh you’ve gotta stop shouting at him all the time
As it’s making ds shouty and rude and dhs answer is he needs to be shouted at more
And that I let him get away with too much

I don’t at all but I don’t resort to shouting all the time as a go to method

So this am when this happens I said to ds you’ve got five mins to pack them away before you go on time out
I don’t want to put you in time out but I will if you don’t tidy the bingo balls away

He moaned the whole time but he did tidy them away
Then he tipped them out of the pit by accident
But then he tidied them away again

So aibu thinking dh needs to stop

And how do I get dh to realise this
As when I raise it with him he says ds needs to be shouted at more
