Husband getting stressed with tantrums.

Yeah my husband is like this and he almost gets embarrassed especially if we are in public, I just keep reminding him that it’s normal behaviour and to just ignore it unless it puts the child or others in danger 😂 hopefully he’ll just adapt as our son gets older, we also have a 4 month old too so extra stress 🫠

I find men generally struggle with that more than we do? My partner also gets frustrated. I generally ignore tantrums, I say that makes mummy sad and I go about doing whatever I am doing, whilst keeping an eye on her without her knowing, and she soon gets over it when I speak about something else to her. Distractions work really well at this age. Distract or ignore is my advice haha. They don’t understand consequences and naughty chairs at this age although they do know mostly right from wrong, so distraction is your best friend, if they’re in a safe space, ignore them x

My husband is the same. He can’t deal if she tantrums in public and finds it really stressful but she’s just a toddler and it’s normal behaviour.

Let’s not normalise this behaviour! This is not ok or healthy for either party! Children go through those stages and we are the adults! Is just not acceptable to punish a baby!

@Becky yeah I have to keep saying that too, saying it's not just him who's like this. It's normal for this age group. Fingers crossed haha, luckily I'm the calm one 😂 xx

@Jess Oh yeah for sure, I'm always nice and calm and collective when it happens. I mean I do shout if I need to but not for silly tantrums haha. That's a good tip thank you, he does seem to stop if he goes on the chair but I hate putting him on it 😢 x

@Inesse it's just crazy how they can't cope with it 🙈 x

@Valentina I'm not sure how I'm normalizing the behaviour? Kinda feel like my parenting is being judged with this comment? When it comes to tantrums, I am the one who is the calm one. I tell baby to stop and try and do the situation calmly. When it comes to my husband I have to tell him to calm down and just go off and breathe for a minute. Children have tantrums, it's normal for them, our son is having tantrums every time we say no. If we keep saying Yes to everything we won't get anywhere!
