Just wanted your thoughts on this. My DH sometimes shouts loads at the kids. They are 5, 3 and 1.5. Yes, they sometimes constantly fight and we spend all day being refferee. It just seems his patience is zero sometimes and I hate the way he 'barks and yells' at them. I just think he is a bit over the top and just too angry. He works and I am at home. My eldest has cp and that brings its own frustrations. He is very able, (and very cheeky in a nice way) but cannot talk. Goodness knows I am not perfect and sometimes it seems all I do is hollar at them, but I want our kids to be happy. I never remember being 'barked' at by an angry father. Sometimes I look at their little faces and I cringe. He is a great great father and he plays with them all the time, its just I think he needs to 'tone down' the disaplin. I have said before now for him to calm down, but he will just reply "but what about you shouting at them". Sometimes I wonder if this is the type of father I wanted for my children. Is that wrong? I just don't want my children growing up remembering their daddy and his angry shouting.
