Husband wants me to think I’m crazy

Husband and I are at opposite ends of the worry scale, and I feel that he tries to bully me out of worrying about anything. I do over worry sometimes I’ll admit it, but it doesn’t mean that everything I express a concern about is automatically wrong. I need to know if today’s incident is me being unreasonable or him…..

we’ve just moved house and my sons trampoline is on a concrete slab in the garden.

Husband puts the jumping bit on the frame but not the safety net around it. Son is wild on the trampoline does flips and throws himself about with abandon.

Husband announces to son he can go on trampoline, I interrupt and say have you put the safety net on the trampoline though as it’s on concrete (son is very accident prone and only had a cut on his head glued at minor injuries very recently) to this husband is all sweating under his breath and storming off.

Really fed up of this trying to make out like I’m a crazed lunatic.

I’m willing to hear if allowing a child to jump on a trampoline placed on concrete without the net they include for safety is crazy though, please tell me the truth.

Absolutely not unreasonable. Of course safety is important, especially when it comes to your child. I would 100% be saying same as you.

You are not crazy. Your husband is foolish, reckless and lazy.

Your husband is an idiot. And lazy. And gaslighting you by the sounds of it!

Nobody in their right mind would think you’re unreasonable.

Your DH is an idiot
trampolines are a major cause of injury and a+e attendance for kids
