What is the correct way to react when kids complain about something DH did that feels wrong to me? e.g. he said something out of line/hurtful, or didn't take their needs into consideration.

I would empathize a lot.
Don't agree with dad or his actions.
I would ask them how you can help or what you can do. Explain you can't contradict dad (if they asked him for something and he said no) but if there is something else you can do.


It would help if you were more specific... it also depends on ages of the kids.

Thanks. Provided a couple examples above (it's not about permission). Kids are teens.

I was in this situation and regret not doing more to protect them or at the very least validate them that what happened wasn’t okay and I’m sorry they went through it.
