[quote=Anonymous]DS is a teenager. If your husband were a hardass, he’d just be complaining about DH being too strict, militant, etc. Making your DH the problem here says a lot about you and your internalization of toxic masculinity. Why adopt the “beta” framework if you don’t like it? Why not try some critical thinking here? By saying DS is a “solidly good kid” while DH is a beta, you’re missing an opportunity to teach your kid about respecting everyone, about how men can have feelings too, about how masculinity doesn’t mean forcing your will on others, about how to take responsibility for your own behavior. You’re in dangerous waters and you don’t seem to realize you’ve gotten wet. Turn back before you teach your kid to be a jerk of an “alpha.”[/quote]
