AITA for “having an intervention” about my husband’s parenting
We have a 10-week-old baby.
My husband (28M) absolutely adores him.
He wants to spend every available moment with him.
I know he wants to be an amazing father.
This woman noticed that his husband’s behaviors toward the baby weren’t ideal.
However, he enganges in unsafe behaviors.
Like falling asleep on the couch while the baby is contact napping.
Or leaving the baby on the playmat unattended, while the dog is in the room.
Or putting the baby for a day nap with his bib still on.
She’s stressed about how he looks after the baby.
He claims that I’m too anxious, making a big deal out of nothing. The baby can’t roll yet and the dog won’t hurt him.
He holds baby firmly while sleeping, etc.
And I admit I don’t react calmly and freak out, which makes him act defensive, but he is being unsafe and it stresses me out.
I feel like I can’t leave him alone with the baby which only offends him more.
So, she asked her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to intervene.
Last week, I had enough.
I asked my MIL and SIL to talk to him.
They took my side and ripped him a new one.
Her husband is now mad at her.
Now, my husband is angry that I brought him into it and made “a whole intervention” like he’s such a bad dad.
AITA for insisting my husband change how he acts around the baby?
And that I involved his family?
She definitely meant well. Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.
Ugh! What a disheartening story.
This user shares their personal thoughts.
A nurse finally speaks up.
Even an EMT shares their opinion.
Finally, safety first, says this person.
Baby’s safety is more important than daddy’s hurt feelings.
