Swearing at kids

[BringBiscuits]

DH has taken to swearing at kids - all the time. I’ve pulled him up on it and he’s got all defensive about it saying they’re driving him mad (they’re kids) and that he’s stressed. Apart from the fact that the kids are hearing words I wish they weren’t, the swearing makes no difference. The telling off they get is no likely to get a better reaction with or without the swearing. It just sounds awful really. Aibu?

No. There's never a need to swear at a child. It is brutish and intimidating and he needs to stop and you need to stick up for your children when he does this, infront of them and tell him to behave.

Never a valid reason to swear at a child, why are you putting up with it. Either he stops or I would be asking him to leave for their sake.

YANBU. I also think it's unacceptable to be taking his stress out on the kids by being aggressive (with or without swearing). Of course you can tell your kids off but you shouldn't be regularly losing the plot or being aggressive with them.

Horrible. Stand your ground.
