Its especially hard when you and your SO (significant other) have different ways of raising and punishing your children. He gets so frustrated and makes the situation worse sometimes. I try and tell him to keep calm and make him understand how to communicate with our LOs.
My son is in terrible 2s and likes to push everyone's buttons. You know that stage. Well, my SO thinks its a good idea to fight back. Seems so childish sometimes. He feels like our son is 7 instead of 2 and it makes me so mad! Trying to keep my composure until he is done talking to our LO is difficult. But its important to never undermine each other in front of the kids. That only opens doors for the kids and shows them its OK for them to talk back and not listen. Try and remember to save your arguments until your LOs are not in the same room. Keep calm until you guys are alone. Step outside and have a brief convo if you must. Communication is key.
