Telling a child to shut up
Would you consider telling your one year old son to shut up verbal abuse?
My husband and I are in agreement that it’s not appropriate, but he says I’m exaggerating by saying it’s abuse. Looking for other’s perspectives.
ETA: it was early in the morning and he was crying. Dad wanted to go back to sleep. He groaned and said “will you just shut up?” It was a very neutral tone.
