[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH struggled (and still somewhat does) with this too. It's really hard and I hated that we had to deal with it, but[b] I love him and knew this was a consequence of him struggling with the overwhelm and overstimulation of parenting.[/b] Reading about the effects of yelling did help a lot, he genuinely did not realize how damaging it could be. He grew up with a father who is great and not abusive but has a temper so he honestly just thought that was how you discipline a child. The Big Little Feelings course helped a lot too. I also did at one point have a very serious conversation with him about how it couldn't continue without a serious effect on our marriage and our future. I did this in a calm moment once everyone had calmed down and we were alone.[/quote]

Mad mom PP here. When I yell, it is absolutely due to overstimulation; discordant noise really sets me on edge and there's a heck of a lot of that in the toddler stage. That doesn't make my reaction ok but it's crucial to acknowledge one's triggers. I specifically will put airpods in with low music sometimes just to dull the kid noise in the house because it's bothering me. Or suggest something DC *can* do, that's still fun but not as noisy.[/quote]
