[quote=Anonymous]i get you're upset, but it doesn't sound abusive to me in the sense that he's not really putting you down but is angry with how you are handling your sons behavior.  clearly you are not comfortable with yelling, but many parents do this.  its not great for him to be blaming you in front of the kid, but i think its pretty common in families during a moment of crisis for the parents turn on each other.  and calling out a kid who is acting like a spoiled brat does not qualify as abuse, especially if its true.

you and dh need to sit down (when things are calm) and figure out a team approach to deal with your 7 yo's behavior at the next disruption.  he thinks your lectures aren't working, maybe he's right/wrong, but what does he suggest?  grounding? being sent to room?  that may mean he needs to have leeway to take a firmer approach so that he does not feel things will keep getting out of control.

frankly, it sounds a little like you are pretty passive aggressive by coming to a forum to look for fuel to use against your dh.  
you need to make this less about you and more about you and dh dealing with your child's behavior as a unified team.  [/quote]
