I’m a SAHM and my husband WFH. I’m doing my best to stop yelling because lately I’ve just been triggered easily. I know I’m doing my best to stop.
This morning my kids where underfoot (I tripped over my older toddler) and I asked them to leave, they did then started running in and out and tripping me and I stepped on my sons watermelon rind and I just snapped. I understand I shouldn’t have. My husband came in and was upset with me but got the kids out and playing in the living room.
They started jumping on the couch, something my husband doesn’t want them to do because they broke our last couch. I said no jumping on the couch, grabbed my 20 month old off. My oldest wouldn’t stop, I said it one more time then put her in a time out for not listening. She was screaming on the top of her lungs and he came flying in and took her out of time out and put her in the playroom.
I’m upset that he did that.

I think you may have a more profund issue with a disagreement in the way you raise the kids with your husband. I would sit together and have a deep talk about how you both proceed and how to agree on something.

You overreacted over the watermelon rind but you know that . U gave a few warnings to ur kids and ur oldest didn’t listen and I think a time out was appropriate but he shouldn’t have undermined u by immediately taking her out of time out and letting her go play .
