[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a very fun and hands on dad.  My children love him so much.  I try to be kind and thoughtful of my daughters (4) emotions but DH does not.  He has no patience with her.  For example, last night she didn't want a bath and he said "too bad so sad".  That's not going to make her jump in the tub and enjoy it.  She has become really difficult since COVID and he doesn't say the right things to her to get her to stop.  I am reading "How to talk to little kids" and it really works on her, but then he comes around and undoes whatever I have accomplished.  He won't read the book and would rather call her psycho.  He thinks timeouts are the answer and would prefer to spank her (but he doesn't because I won't let him).  He talks to me similarly.  He is extremely sarcastic and takes nothing seriously.  He will laugh when she tells him something, maybe he thinks it's cute and laughs but from her and my perspective, he's laughing AT us.  I tell him over and over again how he makes us feel but nothing changes.  LEAVING HIM IS NOT THE ANSWER, he will still be a jerk on the weekends and I actually really love him.  He is so much fun with kids, he does awesome in the good times but terrible in the bad times.  HELP![/quote]

Leaving him is the answer. Five less days a week you and your child aren't emotionally abused. He's fun with the kids as long as they don't have an opinion. When they do he belittled and laughs. He is laughing at you both. Leave him.
