All right, so I've posted about my best mate's DH before. See this thread. I honestly think if I didn't post about him on here I'd show up at their place and slap him round the head, so I need to vent. :)
The other day my friend called me in tears. She said that she'd left her daughter (she's almost 5 months old) in her bouncy seat on the couch, and then run to grab something and her little girl tumbled off. It was a stupid mistake, but her DD is fine. She called the nurse line right away and was told that it happens all the times, and as long as there were no signs of a concussion she should be fine, just keep an eye out and be more careful next time.
When my friend's DH got home and she told him what happened, he went ballistic and told her that "even the worst parents don't leave their babies on elevated surfaces!" He also said something about not knowing if she could "be trusted" with DD.
(IMO "the worst parents" beat their children and, you know, leave them alone for days while they're out scoring drugs, so I think his perspective is a little skewed
)
Anyway, my friend was distraught and I told her that of course it wasn't the best thing in the world, but it happens and everything was fine. (My DH actually dropped our DS off the couch at about the same age)
She seemed to be feeling better but when I talked to her later she defended DH saying, "well he's right, it was my fault." He told her that he never takes his eyes off the baby for a second, blah blah blah.
I feel she's going to end up walking on eggshells with her own child
Ugh. AIBU, or is he a bully?
