Hello all, I need opinions on the msg in italics below pls. Can it be classed as rude or lashing out? I'm I being unreasonable to think it's not rude or harsh. It was a response to my ex, who takes discipline lightly & criticises me when I take a firm tone (not shouting or putting the kids down) when correcting our kids. I just don't say don't do that to the kids, I give reasons why what they did is inappropriate & the benefits of doing things or behaving in a better way/manner. Ex says I go on about things even though I only sit the child down to talk to them. A friend said the text below to the ex is rude. Is it? Kids are age 7 & 4.

"Btw, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the way or manner in which I spoke to A earlier as I was not shouting. When you are correcting a child for doing wrong, you take a firm and assertive tone. I did not say d same things twice. U do not correct kids using a soft petting tone -u use a firm tone, so they know you are serious. I need
an apology Frm you as u have the habit of criticising me on how I correct them or discipline them. Apologise now"*^
