I hated when my dad would say this it made me feel like I was less to him and isolated from the family like i wasn’t apart of it

My husband does this. My son is now 7, he is so respectful and kind and compassionate. Still has moments but dad just says who is that and my son says your wife first. Then we have big hugs.

I respected my dad more when he would refer to my mom as his wife, especially when I was in the wrong. Showed me the value in their relationship!

I also used to hate hearing this from my dad growing up. (Stepmom). I wanted him to stand up for me or have my back bc I already didn’t feel apart of the family since they started their own. (1)

Eh. I want to like it, but the long term language subtly implies if it is "his" he can hit it. Posession doesn't matter.

My BFFs and I did this with our littles too, “Hey – we don’t talk to my friend like that. Please try again.” We definitely formed a supportive village for our group.

My dad always stood up for his wife he loved his kids but his wife came first which does make an impression

Our daughter said to him “Jenny needs you.” He said “What?!” She repeated herself and he said “That’s my wife. You don’t call her by her name. You call her mama” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 she said “yes sir”

I've even said something similar to my friends kids.. they hit them and I say hey don't hit my friend

How about this. “You may not hit people when you’re angry”

Crazy__Phill :
I actually disagree with this. You're teaching your kids that dad is respected because he's dad and that mom is respected because she's dad's wife, not a person on her own worthy of her own respect

I get it but it also has vibes like when my mom would say "I won't let you hurt MY kid." to us when we were fighting.

I feel like this objectifies mom as just his wife. It makes more sense to describe them in regard to their relationship with the child.

Nakiya 💛 :
I think there’s ways you can still say this, without making the kid feel like less than. Dad values mom, dad prioritizes mom. Mom is still dad’s wife. She’s more than mom. But that doesn’t mean the kids are cared about less

My dad has always been this way and now it’s a standard for me ahaha. We’re husband and wife before we are mom and dad, that’s how it’s supposed to work.

"I understand youre angry, thats okay, but hitting anyone or anything isnt okay..." redirect to safe outlets. angry drawings, excercise, music etc. Thats what i do.

I think this could be great if it is purely when he is doing something wrong but you have to be careful bc my stepdad did this any time my mom was made even mildly uncomfortable even when it wasn’t…

Half the reason I don’t want kids is cause I don’t want to just be another “mom”

equally isolating, i think. Made me sad when my dad would say stuff like this. My uncles tell their toddlers “you may not hit a person”

I hated it when my parents separated me from them with “my wife” “my husband” talk. I am your child, and you are an adult. You can handle whatever I’m dealing with, you have way more practice!

My uncle did this with his kids. They were respectful to them both after being told about 3 times in different instances.

Jakob :
Yeah… my dad did this and it fucked me up as a kid. Makes you feel unwanted and like you’re not your parents child but just some kid living with them. I’m respectful but also dont talk to my dad

I like this but I don’t get the second point, why is it important for your toddler to know you were with your husband before he was born in this context?😅

if YOU aren’t okay, then they aren’t either! you guys always first your the foundation! they learn from you! one day they’ll branch off and start his own family and he’ll understand you two are doing

I’ve starting doing this as a preschool assistant and lowkey it does shock them slightly more when I say not to hit “MY friends” rather than “your friends” or “your teacher”

This is how my wife speaks to my son. When he’s disrespectful she says “you won’t speak to my wife that way.”

I'm not a mom, so I really don't get a say, but shouldn't the mom stand up for herself? To teach the child that they can stand up for themselves?

no cause honestly as a child to hear your parent say don't talk about my wife/husband, or son/daughter that way instead of your mum/dad and sister and brother hits makes a huge impact and I remember

Hmm :
“You may not hit ppl when you’re angry” teach him that ppl are not punching bags.
