How would you (like to) respond if you heard your partner swearing angrily at your kids?

if i wasn’t able to be present i would talk to him after when he’s more calm. i would tell him to not let that happen again, he needs to have control of his emotions if he gets really heated he needs to back away from the kids and give himself the space and time to calm down and then find a solution in a healthier way. id definitely step in if it happened another time after that. its not a good way of handling any situation, especially with kids. a lot of things can be resolved in a less negative way. keep in mind kids pick up quickly bad behavioral habits from what they see other people do so its good to show them good examples and healthy problem solving.

I would go in there and stand my ground and say do not speak this way at my kids! And honestly I would consider if I would want to stay with someone who abused my kids because I would want to show my kids what behavior is acceptable and what isn’t and it’s never appropriate to swear angrily at a child! If he can’t handle his emotions like an adult than he needs to learn to walk away before abusing his own children.

And I want to be clear I was in a situation where my husband at the time (I have left and this was on of the straws that broke the camel’s back) was telling me how he pulled my 1 old daughter’s hair for not listening and best believe I laid into him right then and there in front of the kids! Because again I want my kids to know I am a safe person and that I will always stand up for them regardless of who it is bullying them!
