I'm dead serious, please don't laugh. I have a 9 year old son and he accidently stopped up the toilet, and my husband was very ticked off, cussed and yelled at 9:30 that night. I had just tucked my son in and told him goodnight and I guess he was dosing off, and my husband went in there (mad) and made him stand there and watch him unclog the toilet. I thought this was stupid and wrong. It was a complete accident, it's not like he flushed a toy down the toilet!!! What's your opinion on this?!
Thank-you.

Poor kid!! I know how embarrassed I get when I clog the toilet!!! Your husband was really out of line! Reassure your son that he did nothing wrong and that you love him very much and that you're not mad at all...he might be still feeling sad about about being yelled at. I know I would!!

i won't be able to have faith a number of those solutions, i'm vulnerable to have faith that none of those human beings have ever stayed at residing house. Having a splash one and being pregnant... it extremely is arduous. Throwing in housekeeping and a foul temper from an unsupportive companion and it may look like a mountain you're compelled to climb daily. My suggestion for you would be--be straightfoward including your husband. tell him you sense depressed over the way he's treating you, that your life isn't hassle-free precise now and you do no longer % to hold yet another newborn into this environment. commerce nights which you're looking after the youngsters-- as an occasion, another night he has to bathe the newborn and positioned the newborn to mattress, and you the two do the dinner dishes (makes it a good purchase swifter). Or, positioned off vacuuming or laundry till sunday night, the place you may the two fold whilst observing television and fiddling with the newborn. do purely extremely mutually and locate resourceful techniques and situations to do issues, and you will finally end up much less under pressure (and your husband would be, too). good success!

Your husband went a bit over the top. An accident is an accident. I can see him trying to calmly turn it into a teaching moment for how to unclog a toilet, but if he was yelling it probably only caused your son shame and embarrassment.

Stupid and juvenile. Unless your son flushed his sister's doll down the toilet. In which case I would have made HIM unclog the toilet. I wonder if you're defending your little angel's bad behavior and leaving out some details. Accidentally stopped up the toilet with what?

That was kind of silly unless he was trying to teach your son how to unclog a toilet. What he should have done is just talk to your son and let him know he needs to be more careful. Not yell and cuss at him. Thats why now days everything is so violent.

I agree with the others. Sounds like he went a bit overboard to me. If the worse thing your son does is plug up your toilet thank your lucky stars. It was an accident. He could have just as easily talked with your son about it in the morning after he had time to cool off as well.

Your husband was very wrong, has he never stopped up the toilet before? I understand being frustrated...I hate having to unclog the toilet after my son goes (and he's only 6), but it happens! Your husband should apologize to your son, he was in the wrong and he should take responsibility for it.

Tough call, he over-reacted a little bit but your son should've known the toilet was clogged. One can always tell by the sound of it when flushing. If it was a couple of hours after your son went to bed, then I'd say he over-reacted quite a bit. But just a few minutes? Hmmm dunno, it is just a toilet after all. Probably doesn't happen regularly, so sometimes one just has to not get so uptight about it.
I contradicted myself in here huh? lol

Was your husband already upset about something else? You should have talked to him in private right after it happened and tell him you didn't like the way he handle the situation. Sometimes my husband over reacts to but I tell him that I don't like certain thing he says or does during certain situations. You and your husband need to discuss what is good punishment and what is crossing the line.

Don't hate me for saying this, but....your husband is a moron. If this kid just took a big dump (sorry for the language) and it stopped up the toilet, well, that's just bad luck. You don't TRY to do something like that. He's being a bully and an ***. Sorry.....your husband owes that kid an apology. And you need to seriously tell your husband if he does that again, you're stepping in. As a mother, sticking up for your kids in a situation like that is your job.
