[quote=Anonymous]Read the book good inside as someone suggested- get DH to read it too or read passages to him. Give him so much praise and leeway in his good moments with baby to ensure he knows that you see how hard he tries and how much he does (it can be nauseating bc as a mom we deal with SO much more but they need extra hand holding). And when time feels right again, sit him down and in the most supportive way, let him know that while you love how amazing/trying etc he is, it increasingly you are concerned as this is not the environment you want baby raised in and now is the time when habits with baby form, so fixing this 1-3+ years from now is not going to work. Now is the time to correct it. And do this all lovingly, set a plan for how to change this together (loving reminders whenever he does it? Mindfulness courses? Meta thinking skill building eg thinking about how we think and rewiring our responses by conscious effort)

I’m a bit sleep deprived so don’t know if the above makes sense but I was basically your husband (and still am but so much better). I continue working on myself with the support of my partner who understands my upbringing, and therefore where this terrible behavior comes from, very well. [/quote]
