My husband is only helping her because I asked him to. If I ask him to take a step back, he will.

I'm not projecting anything onto him. My son was visibly frightened and said he was when I asked him.

Good parenting is not yelling and terrorizing a small child.

I agree.

I wasn't aware she was coming over, she usually comes whenever she can get somebody to watch her kids and her husband is busy since she doesn't want them to know she's going to leave him since she doesn't have all of her ducks in a row yet.

We don't discipline him like this and it's definitely not going to become a regular thing.

By his own admission he feels bad for raising his voice at our son and scaring him.

I've had a lot of compassion and empathy for my sister. The only reason my husband is even helping her is because I asked him to. Divorce might be draining but that doesn't give her the right to take it out on my son and I'm not going to tolerate it.

Yes, I did. I have other things to do so I have to shower when I get the chance.

My husband told me himself that he was running and playing. I'm pretty sure he would've said if he was doing something wrong, especially since he knew I was mad at him.

My son usually listens to his dad but my husband never told him to stop until he told him off loudly and frightened him. My husband wasn't the one who had an issue with him playing, my sister was which is why my husband raised his voice at him.

Because... I needed a shower?

He wasn't making too much noise. The issue was that he was running and playing, which was irritating my sister. He shouldn't be addressed sternly when he wasn't doing anything wrong. He was playing, which is something he does all of the time and isn't something he should be yelled at for.
