i told my husband last night a woman in a shop asked why our daughter wore glasses (she's only 19mnths), to which he asked what i said, i told him i said that she wears them cos she has a squint in 1 eye and her eye sight in terrible (which it is) and he went ballistic!! he said i shudn't say she has 'bad' eyesight as this is putting her down and he doesnt want her ever to feel put down or feel she cant do anything, i shud just say she needs them to see properly. i ofcourse did not take this to kindly as i wud never do anything to upset my child so how dare he suggest otherwise + she is 19mnths old how on earth will she feel put dow! in my eyes he is really overprotective of her, too overprotective! she goes to nursery 3 times a wk (a nursery i work in) and the girls in there dont want to tell him if there is any incidents involving her however minor they are, if he cud wrap her in cotton wool i think he wud, i'm forever trying to tell him to back off a little cos she is more than capable of doing things for herself but he just cant seem to let go! the last thing i want is a spoilt brat of a child but if he doesnt change a little of the way he treats her she will!!! agggggghhhhh rant over :)
