[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have no interest in reading all the responses, but here is my response to your first paragraph (I said it out loud):

What the fuck!!!

Yeah, I love to curse. It's great. I have literally NEVER done it around my children (6 and 8). Never once. And if a "shit" or "damn" comes out of someone's mouth around kids, it sure as SHIT better not be directed at my kids (or theirs).

My husband told my younger son to stop being a baby the other day, and it was the first time he'd ever said something like this. We had a long talk. It's never happening again.

You are INSANE to leave your children around someone who demeans and disparages them like this. You're behaving as badly as he is.

I can promise you that if anyone spoke to my children like that, my kids would be out the door. Gone. Done.[/quote]Really?  He said to stop being a baby, and you had a long talk? Wow.  I don't think this is a big deal and maybe kid was acting like baby.  [/quote]

Thank you.  I mean, we are all on the same page about the OP's situation.  But I can't imagine how long of a talk you would have about your husband calling your son a baby.  Unclench.  [/quote]

Absolutely no way am I "unclenching." Kid was acting badly, and needed to be talked to. He was certainly acting like a baby, but that's different from being told in a harsh voice "Stop being a baby!" I tell my kids that we don't call names, and DH is held to the same standard. I'm pretty tough on my kids, but calling them names isn't in the playbook. DH totally agreed. If you and your husband want to call your kids names, go for it. Not happening in my house. Fuck that. :-)
