[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the context, OP. For example: -Is DD (11) exhausted and, as such, can't regulate? I step in to separate them and help her calm down, then they talk it out once she's regrouped -Is DH hangry and, as such, utterly unreasonable? I step in and tell him to take it down a notch. He will sometimes remove himself from the room if it gets to be too much -Are they both just being grumpy grumps who like to bicker? I walk away, because I find it incredibly disrespectful to the rest of the family. They usually apologize -I sometimes bring stuff up later with DH when he's calm and remind him a bit about typical childhood development, etc. He's not a bad person, at all, but he had zero exposure to healthy, authoritative parenting as a kid Thanks and solidarity to PPs. It's gotten better with time but, damn. This stuff is not easy![/quote]
