How would you react if...?

To be fair, 3 year olds can be very trying, but there was no need to either swear or shout. a) It's not nice. b) They bloody well repeat every swear they hear. (Guess the poster here with a 3 year old nephew :P )

You need to have a serious conversation with your partner about how he should act around your daughter. I mean, it's horrible to behave that way towards anyone, but to a 3 year old baby it's completely unacceptable.

And to those posters suggesting that because he lost his temper and shouted *once* that he will break her arm or otherwise physically abuse her, you're more stupid than the poster's partner could ever be.

You need to take the partner aside and let him know in no uncertain terms is he to address the child like that again. He needs to apologize as well. Suggest alternate ways to deal with a misbehavior like that, such as, "Please don't throw anything at me. You are perfectly capable of behaving better than that and I expect to see it." Then you take the child aside and you let the child know in no uncertain terms is he ever to throw anything at his father again. Repeat the above statement to to the child. Let him/her know that there will be a consequence if he/she repeat it. If the child is a toddler, then the father needs to take some serious anger management classes.

Me too a guy but saying the truth for any gal/women > i would stare for a while & stay silent, he wil realise himself what he had done, caz if i too shout the whole environment will become the hell..

Later on i would take a step in a sensitive moment when he keeps faith on my emotions & realises ..

Leave him before your child is mentally and emotionally scared for life. If you stay in this abusive environment, your child will grow up to have no self confidence and will probably end up in another abusive relationship when they are older.

Get rid of him, or next time it might be a black eye or a broken arm
