[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is straight up abuse. We all have grumpy days but don't take it out on the kids. I can't imagine the parents who are saying this is  okay. I'd straight up tell DH never to be mean to the kids like that for no reason. Maybe that DH needs anti depressants or a therapist.[/quote]

You have literally never snapped at your kid when they were overexcited at bedtime? I go camping with a bunch of families, including some who have very gentle parenting philosophies and I have seen everyone snap at their kids at one point or another and most of them physically move their kids to the location where they need to be.[/quote]

To me, picking a kid up by their clothes, which makes their clothes dig in and is physically uncomfortable, is totally different from picking them up under the arms or something and putting them in bed.  I don't have any problem with the latter.  [/quote]

He was in the bedroom and put the child in the bed.   At most, the clothes "dug in" and were "physically uncomfortable" for 3 seconds or less.  [/quote]

Yes, but as a parent, I don't do things that cause pain to my kid without a good reason.  Grab a shirt to pull a kid back from ongoing traffic?  Sure.  But there are better ways to pick up a 5 year old and they are easy to use. [/quote]

Well, you (or whoever wrote that) didn't say "pain"--you said "uncomfortable."  
I agree with some previous posters that I'm not 100% certain of what ""picking up by the shirt" entails.  Maybe what I am envisioning is different than what actually happened.

But from OP's description, I am under the impression that OP often allows her kid to act like a brat, and her Dh was finally just fed up.  When he finally put his foot down, OP proceeded to make it worse by asking him to "comfort" the boy who didn't get his way for the first time ever. [/quote]
