DH put car on the drive with baby on the front seat!!!

[Stillmonday]

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 ☹️

OP doesn’t say he drove the van. She says he went out to the van. I assume on their driveway or property.

Not capable of calculating a risk of a child with no car seat. Wouldn't say he cares an awful lot tbh!

Yet still less of a risk of injuring his child than strapping him into a car seat and driving down a motorway. He was probably in a moving vehicle for less than a minute. Hardly the crime of the century even less so given how few cars are currently on the roads.

Certainly not something worth shaking with anger over. It would be more sensible to have a conversation like adults and say next time can you bring him back into the house whilst you reverse the van.

This suggests to me that he did drive the van:

She said he was "putting the van on the drive". he was driving it.

Not capable of calculating a risk of a child with no car seat.

Or, he is perfectly capable of calculating the risk of a child with no car seat in a van that is being moved from the road to the drive.

Chill out.....

I would be furious too. Wth it's so dangerous, and where are his safety instincts! Mumsnetters are so weird at the moment. Driveway accidents happen.

Ahhh I bet your household is filled with so much fun.

My DS, 18 months, loves car, and I regularly let him sit on the front seat and go up and down the drive. He even puts the key in the ignition and puts it in 1st gear.

Chill out OP otherwise this whole parenting thing will break you.

Drama queen

My husband did that. Barely moved the car but breaker and the kid shot forward and head butted the dashboard 😂

I'm shaking with anger.

That's a really unhealthy state to be in over something really minimal. I would hate to be you when you actually have reason to be angry. You must be on the verge of spontaneous combustion!

Are you isolating together? Downing more time with him than normal?

Are you always this hysterical?

shaking with anger? Really?

The roads are practically deserted and he drove a few yards, probably in first gear. There are much bigger things to 'shake with anger' over OP.

Seriously, and in a non-pattonising way, see your GP about your anxiety.

YABU

At least some people agree with me!

putting the van on the drive with LO on the front seat!!!

At least he didn't just throw him in the back

Ahhh yes OP, about 1% agree with you, and therefore you must be utterly correct in your thinking.

On a serious note, this level of anxiety sounds unhealthy and I would look into it further.

What was the likelihood of the whole world being on lockdown because someone in China ate something infected by a bat ? Slim hey?

Probably more chance of being hit by a speeding car coming round a corner I'd say 💁🏻‍♀️

Sorry, I am confused. Did your DH drive somewhere or about to drive somewhere?

Unless your husband is Prince Philip YABU.

I can't believe you are being so flippant about the seriousness of this crisis we are in just to try and be 'right'

You can't compare your partner moving a van with your child in it to a global fucking pandemic.

Go have a cup of herbal tea and clam your tits.

OP, you're most recent post seriously makes me concerned about your anxiety levels because you're trying to justify something being likely to happen that is actually incredibly unlikely.

Probably more chance of being hit by a speeding car coming round a corner I'd say

Except he wasn't. There were no speeding cars.

Hope the drink you were making for yourself was chamomile tea OP.

Shaking with anger? Really?

My DP has done that with DCs a few times moving car from under house to further down another part of drive after unloading groceries , about 20ft in first gear. They love it. It's ok.

Oh I do this all the time the kids love it. Maybe a bit of an over reaction but if you are not comfortable just have a calm conversation about it not happening again

Oh get a grip op. ‘Shaking with anger’ seriously?? 😂😂
