Before I ask the question I would like to say, I love my DP very much he has been my rock for the past 4 years.
The thing is we have our first DD who is just over one. DP is and has been great with me and her throughout the whole first baby experience.
The only issue we are having at the moment is his views on parenting when it comes to silly behaviour is that he "taps" her on the hand.
This I do not think is anyway to teach her anything she just gets upset and doesnt seem to understand why he does it as for example..
DD goes to bite me I would normally pull myself away and get a toy or somthing to distract her. But my DP will say "No you dont bite mummy"
She looks at him smiles and goes to do it again. So he "taps" her on the hand moves her away from me and says "no".
I do try to talk to him about it but he just says the usually "never did me any harm"
"kids are in need of it these days"
Ect..
He is a great daddy and loves us very much I think its just the way he was bought up that makes him not think it as a promblem and I do not know how to get him out of that frame of mind.
Im starting to doubt if I am even right to question it anymore. Anyone got any advice or simular promblem past or present would be thankful for advice.
(sorry for long post)
AIBU?
Keep bringing up about not using physical punishment for a one year old?
