[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you handle DH who occasionally pushes kids when they don't behave? I have lost all respect for DH who has done this more than once, perfect example to today it's the last day of school and 13 year old started watching TV . but [b]dad came home and asked him to turn it off because he still uses that space to work from home. [/b] Teen didn't move fast enough and was not being understanding of a conference call about to start.. so DH turns into a man-child and pushes teen.  WTF?[b] I was working upstairs [/b]when it happened, I came down and yelled at DH that under no circumstances is he ever to lay a hand on the boys.  The man-child said he had no choice.. Teen says he was about to do it, but dad lost his s*hit[/quote]

Why don't you two switch working spaces?
Your son was disrespectful to turn on the tv in a space he knew your husband needs for work.   Are you going to get your son some type of "classes" on respectful behavior?  Or will you relinquish your parental rights?[/quote]

You don't push anyone for any reason, period. It's terrible parenting and does nothing to promote respect.

OP, in answer to your question:  I watch my idiot DH like a hawk when he gets into conflicts with our DS. If he touches him, I tell him to stop. Sometimes I remove DS from the room. Then I tell DH after, "under no circumstances do you ever lay a hand on me or DS." And I also have had to stand up for myself when DH puts hands on me. (Nothing like hitting, but things like standing in my way or pushing my hand aside.)  DH is a hotheaded *ss but at this point he knows that I will call 911 if he is physically aggressive, so he reigns it in.  I also think it's important for DS to hear me stand up for him. [/quote]
