[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 162116, member: 1991"] Yelling from ANYONE is going to be really bad. Coming from a new step-dad - definitely not good. But he probably doesn't know any other way. Strong recommendation - you BOTH need to acquaint yourself with "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. If he can't get into the book (there can be many reasons, it doesn't have to be for lack of trying) there is some really useful discussion about the book in the Early Childhood forum. I also strongly urge you both to read here, lurk here, post here - both of you. Either under the one ID, or separately. My husband is now a member here in his own right ("Marg's Man") and although he doesn't post often, he reads just about everything I post and this has really helped us be on the same page. before, we would talk and discuss things, we thought we were on the same page - but now, we are so much better. husband also used to yell (still does occasionally) but nowadays can be so amazingly patient with difficult child 3 and I am so very grateful. It has helped their relationship a lot, too. They also do "bloke" stuff together, which helps. It can't be easy for him - he needs to have his role defined and be given the tools with which to work. That will also make your job much easier. Marg [/QUOTE]
