My 9 month old DD is having some sleep/teething issues and last night she woke at around 2am. At 3.30, I was still trying to get her back to sleep and DH woke up, very grumpy. I told him to go sleep on sofa as he had work in the morning and I never ask him to help in the night when he has work the next day. He grumped around the bedroom demanding to know where spare bedding is (as if he didn't know!) and on his way out the door he looked at DD, who was already upset, and practically shouted at her "Go to sleep, twat!"
This is not a one off. He has displayed what I think is an unacceptable level of anger towards her before.
Thing is, do I talk to him about it tonight? Should I let him know how wrong I think his behavior is? He did send me a text 2 mins after saying sorry. But he always lets his anger get the better of him and then apologises later.
It's our wedding anniversary today, our relationship is somewhat fragile at the moment and I don't think I can face ruining what ought to be a romantic day for us. But I'm so angry on behalf of my DD. How dare he speak to his daughter that way! She may not understand the words but she understands the sentiment, surely.
What should I do?
