I'm shaking with anger.
DH took 15 month old out to the van, I assumed he was putting stuff away and keeping LO entertained while I make a drink.

2 mins later I look outside to find he's putting the van on the drive with LO on the front seat!!!

I'm furious, told him it's illegal but apart from that what if someone was coming round the corner at speed!!

Honestly don't know what goes through his head at times, or what doesn't ☹️

I think you're being a bit OTT. Presumably your drive isn't in the middle of the M1? Also, he wouldn't have been driving it at more than a couple of mph.

Stillmonday · 27/03/2020 17:15

Really? We live on a corner so sometimes people do Come round a bit quick.

I can't see the issue assuming he never went above 2nd gear - how far did he drive?

Interested in this thread?

If he was just putting the van onto the drive then it sounds ok to me

MsChatterbox · 27/03/2020 17:18

I wouldn't be OK with this either. But try to remain calm. Just say to him it makes you feel uncomfortable, can he please not do it again.

BillywilliamV · 27/03/2020 17:21

I think you're being a bit silly about this. How far did he actually drive it and what, genuinely did you think might happen ?

Grumpbum123 · 27/03/2020 17:22

I can’t see the issue, bigger things to worry about

Didntwanttochangemyname · 27/03/2020 17:23

You are over reacting.

SimonJT · 27/03/2020 17:24

Shaking with anger? Not a healthy reaction.

ItchyScratch · 27/03/2020 17:24

Woah chill hun

DNAwrangler · 27/03/2020 17:25

So he drove it from the street onto your driveway?

ExclamationPerfume · 27/03/2020 17:26

Are you always so over the top?

I wouldn't like this

Thisismytimetoshine · 27/03/2020 17:28

It was initially parked outside your garden and he drove it onto your driveway? Who could possibly have crashed into him on that epic journey?!

SoupDragon · 27/03/2020 17:30

This is a total over reaction.

Stillmonday · 27/03/2020 17:30

The likelihood of something happening is minimal but not impossible and if something had of happened then I'd never forgive him.

It's not something I'd do but then I'm a bit more sensible.

So he drove from the road in front of your drive onto the driveway? Think your overreacting tbh

nsav · 27/03/2020 17:33

Calm down

WorraLiberty · 27/03/2020 17:34

I'd think he was a bit silly but I certainly wouldn't be 'shaking with anger' over it.

ScissorsBike · 27/03/2020 17:34

You are way out of line and owe your husband a big apology.

devildeepbluesea · 27/03/2020 17:36

Good lord, I'm glad I'm not married to you.

JKScot4 · 27/03/2020 17:37

Seriously? shaking with anger?
PFB I assume?
Maybe you should ask yourself why he needed to ‘entertain’ said child whilst you made a drink? They could have as easily wandered out on to the busy road, which I imagine is actually pretty empty 🙄

I think you owe your husband an apology. You appear to have massively over reacted. Nothing terrible could possibly have happened and had a car come speeding round the corner surely your son would have been in more danger standing on the drive than in a van reversing onto the drive.

RonaldBiliousWeasley · 27/03/2020 17:39

Massive overreaction. You owe your husband an apology.
