Mamas I am concerned about my husband’s attitude when disciplining our three young children. The truth is that he is a good husband and father. We both want our children to grow up to be well behaved, obedient and upright, but my husband seems to fear that they will not unless he beats them mercilessly. He has a busy job so I am with them most of time and think they are good children. To be honest they behave well and other people also think so. When my husband is home he starts to take issue with everything there, and he is always complaining about their behaviour. He beats them, pinches them and shouts on them. I do talk to him about his attitude and sometimes he listens. His belief is that children should be afraid of their father and need to be dealt with harshly if they misbehave. He sees nothing wrong with beating them with his belt, pinching, slapping and reprimanding in a way that I can only describe as horrible. Now Im noticing that these children are no more at ease when he is around. Please how can I deal with this?
