[quote=Anonymous]My DH yells when very frustrated, and he yells directly at me and the kids. It’s an awful habit that he learned directly from his dad. They are both otherwise excellent human beings (truly). DH and I support each other in every area but this. I have made very clear to him that it is completely unacceptable and that his mom f’d up in not putting a stop to this (FIL yelled at DH and his sister, but never at MIL or their younger DS, the golden child). I have told him I will intercede on the kids’ behalf when he does this, and I ignore him and leave the room when he does it with me, even though these things enrage him. One of my sons has a titanic temper, and we have had scores of conversations about how to deal with anger appropriately, in a manner unlike his dad and grandfather. He gets that it’s not OK to lash out at his family no matter how angry he is.  If DH just yelled generally, not at people like the OPs DH, I would find it annoying and ridiculous, but that’s a completely different and more innocuous situation.

Parents should work on teaching kids appropriate ways to deal with frustration. It’s disappointing (to put it extraordinarily mildly) when people feel like it’s just fine to dump their negative emotions on others. [/quote]
