[quote=Anonymous]Trying to figure out what level is normal with my H.

He seems constantly frustrated with our 3yo. Most days I have to listen to some variation of him whining at her “LARLA! YOURE BEING RIDICULOUS!!”

For example, she wakes up very stuffy in the morning due to breathing problems from when she was an infant. So she’ll start crying for milk around 7am. H gets upset because he wants to sleep, shoves a cup of water from the night before at her, and whines “Larla stop! Just drink the water! Stop crying!”

He says it’s normal to draw boundaries and be stern with kids but to be honest, I find this behavior so repulsive and unattractive. I don’t think we need to jump every time 3yo says to, but I think there’s much better ways to communicate than whining at them.

I don’t know if I’m explaining his tone correctly. It’s like a combination of whining and being very petulant, demanding, and bratty. Almost like Napoleon Dynamite but more of a jerk.

It’s very much a turn off. [/quote]
