[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lay off your poor husband.  After hours of being screamed at he raised his voice and said stop.  He didn't swear, he didn't spank, he used an angry tone....this is hardly losing his cool. [/quote]

I think this, and you were very quick to dismiss your husbands concerns. [/quote]

OP here.  He yelled STOP in a very mean tone repeatedly over the course of 3 hours.  I'm not saying he didn't have a right to be upset and frustrated (I was too), but what I'm looking for is a way to communicate to DH that yelling like that does nothing to help the situation.  One of the times he yelled, DS was in our bed and was wiggling around and kicking. He wasn't crying at that point, but when DH yelled at him (with an implicit "or else" as well), it made DS scream at the top of his lungs.  It only escalated the situation even more.

You may choose to not believe me, but I actually don't yell at my kids.  I have many faults, but yelling is not one of them, and when DH is not being defensive, even he agrees with that.  My aunt told my mother I have a quiet disciplinary style.  [/quote]
