I love DH and he is great father and lots of great qualities and personality traits which he shares with our DS. however he also has certain qualities that I don't love so much and I am not crazy about they may impact on our DS. And before you jump down my throat these are not things that I would have remotely thought about discussing before we had kids. For example DH teases a lot and he calls DS names in a teasing manner. He htinks they are only words and he is joking and it is no big deal, but I think that DS is to young to appreciate sarcasm and doesn't get that daddy is kidding when he calls hims a filthy little animal. I think that if a kid hears that all the time it will affect them. Same goes for calling DS a "bad boy" if he does something wrong. Don't get me wrong but I think there is a difference between a bad thing and a bad boy, and hearing that he is bad boy, as opposed to telling him that he did a bad thing, can affect his self esteem. Am I over-reacting or am I right? and if I am right and DH won't stop doing this how would handle it? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

op: yes and I have told him that I think he is recreating his relationship that he has with his father and even he admits that that isn't a relationship that should be emulated. I have also suggested counseling to him. He isn't opposed. [ Reply | More
