Is it abuse?
Throwing things at our 2 year old and trying to pick her up by her top and shouting at her. All because she had a tantrum over brushing her teeth .. tells me I’m too soft and don’t discipline the kids correctly ? Ended in a heated argument because I wouldnt let him rag doll her out of the bathroom and kept her safely in my arms whilst she covered her ears. I can’t get her eyes out my head. He’s saying I’m too soft. I don’t think a 2 / 4 year old needs screaming at / physically ragged around to behave. Now I’ve told him back discipline is one thing but physical abuse is another. He’s stormed off to bed not talking to me. Am I in the wrong / over reacting.
FYI I did get her teeth brushed and I would have got them done with out all the screaming and shouting as I always get to her level, keep calm and it eventually happens. He just doesn’t like that she doesn’t do it on first request ?

He’s absolutely abusive and has way too high expectations for your kids’ age and development level.
Get yourself and her out of there asap! I’m sure you can think of a billion excuses for that behavior when you’re in the thick of it but once you’re out it will be so clear that this is abuse.
