Hi, so sorry if there is already a similar thread, i have looked.
My partner of 11 years and I are at breaking point over how we deal with our 6YO behaviour/Discipline.
We no longer talk or communicate, which is rather unpleasant as we live together, and he has asked that i be left to deal with our LO going forward.
Our LO fibs and plays up, nothing outrageous or dangerous, but my partner tears into her and i believe, totally over reacts.
I may not be the tough, shouty one, but i do make her aware that her actions can have serious consequences and she must own her mistakes, not lie about them.
I just don't believe yelling has any impact apart from making the child nervous or even scared of this parent.
Because of our difference of opinion, i can not in all honesty stand up for my partner when he tells our LO off, as i don't believe he is going about it the correct way, or even the silly reason does not require such a harsh, shouting reaction.
His behavoiur is now verging on child like, refusing to kiss our LO goodnight or good morning and i do not know how to deal with this situation.
Am i wrong for not standing up with him, or am i correct to try to make him aware his anger and over reaction is uncalled for?
Any advise please, at my wits end???
