[quote=Anonymous]OP. Actually, I think your husband needs help. He may be suffering from a deep-seated anxiety about being good enough that probably arises from the way he was raised and is unfortunately projecting that onto your son. Criticizing him probably isn't going to help. If you need to, start with family therapy where your son has a chance to tell his dad how his constant lectures/corrections make him feel. Then, your husband needs to hear that this is not normal and that there's something wrong with his compulsion to constantly criticize. I hope he finds the help he needs, because unless he deals with whatever is causing him to be hypercritical of his son, he's at risk of screwing up your son and/or alienating him. [/quote]
