Someone posted "This is what dads are supposed to do..."
What, they're supposed to confuse their kids and undermine the mom's discipline? They're supposed to teach their sons by example that yelling and storming around are acceptable because that's what Dad's doing? They're supposed to keep doing things that clearly result in the son acting worse for dad than for mom?
Nope. Your husband may mean well but he knows nothing about what is developmentally happening with your son. He does not know about how three-year-olds act and react and what makes them tick and how they think. He does not get that at age three, your son is not going to do what he's told "just because dad said so." And he does not get that reacting so violently and stamping around sends your son a terribly mixed message. Your son sees dad acting like that; if your son acts that way, well, where did he see it and who's he modeling his behavior on? Dad.
Thiings will not get better without a serious change on your husband's part. He needs to get some education and then accept that he has to change how he handles your son. If he doesn't the result will be that as your son goes through other perfectly normal behavioral stages, your husband will continue to be frustrated with each one and will just keep reacting inappropriately -- and INEFFECTIVELY! His actions aren't disciplining your son; they're just punishing him. Discipline teaches. Punishment just hurts.
You said you've offered books etc. but to no avail. He really could use some parenting counseling (both of you should go). It would be a huge help, probably, if the counselor were a man -- it sounds like maybe your husband had a dad's-way-or-the-highway upbringing and might not take a woman's guidance when he might accept a man's a little more readily. Do you think you can get him to accept some short-term parenting class or counseling? Or is he the kind of guy who would see it as being weak, not being manly, being criticized for being a disciplinarian, etc.? Maybe there's a good male role model -- a brother, a male friend of your husband's, a male teacher, a pastor, etc. -- whom you can trust enough to confide in and ask to talk with your husband (without telliing your husband you talked about it -- I hate to say to hide anything from a spouse but it sounds like your husband would not react well if he knew you asked a friend or pastor etc. to talk with him about how he interacts with his own child....)
You may have to get his attention with a shock like telling him you are signing both of you up for a parenting class and expect him to go. The fact he does realize your son behaves worse for him than for you is a starting point -- can he go beyond that and also realize that he, not your son, is the major part of that problem? Can he see beyond himself and realize that you do have the better take on effective discipline?
