Disturbing A Waking Child

So, my husband has cracked it at me. Why i hear you ask? Because our eldest woke up with night terrors last night and all he (the husband, who i shall refer to as B) could do was yell at him.  Now if B bothered to pay close attention to what the eldest was screaming out he might hear that he was raving about all the bad, unfair choices that had been made against him all day and the torment he was obviously feeling from our older (master 9) that is staying with us (refer to blog posted last night).  Even as I sit here now i can hear him being silently toremented by master 9 and B taking master 9 side. Master 9 i have found is a very sly, slightly nasty little boy that takes great pride in being nasty to my eldest. Anyway, back to last night. I tell B to stop yelling. He then proceeds to tell me that he needs to wake up eldest, not prepared to pay attention to the fact eldest is becoming more frightened by the yelling.  A few swear words are yelled at B who then proceeds to storm of like a baby yelling 'Its not my fault'. To which my reply was, yes it is as he is talking about you and master 9 and that you have to stop yelling at them during the day and actually listen to what they are saying.  Needless to say this went down like a lead boot and i was left to deal with the situation.  Night terrors done and dusted within 5 mins.  All it took was someone to listen and console.
