to think no one else would go mad about this!

[worldofmyown]

Im sitting crying cause im sick of it. Pathetic.
Cbeebies is on for lo and oh started watching tele on his phone so my exact words are "if you play with lo you can change the channel" he throw his phone on the floor and started shouting dont tell me what to fucking do. why do you have to be involved i can do what i want. if i want to watch tv on my phone its nothing to do with you. i said i only said you can change the channel and he said its nothing to do with u and stormed off upstairs. leaving me with lo like i lool after her all day amd night myself.
Aibu to think no one else would react like this as he says everyone would.
Lo is 4months so when i say play if she gets upset give her toy back and shes fine and happy x

Arthur - your post has made me desperately want a pavlova. YOU are being unreasonable for doing that at a time when it is impossible to get one.

Big shame OP has gone :( if you are reading this though, hope you are ok and ignore the stupid crap. It happens on every forum I've been on. The difference is, most forums deal with hobbies etc which can provoke strong opinions on 'how to do things right'. This forum is dealing with people's lives so its far less acceptable to side track and discuss irrelevant bits of the post purely to prove your own point right.

Haribo so your Pavlovian response is......pavlova.....?

:o

Fucking hell, there's some right wanky 'tv is a sin' arseholes on this thread! Not to mention some of you who are just arseholes in general. Get a grip!! If cbeebies didn't exist then I would have suffered from some sort of breakdown over this year. Sometimes you need a little while and a mr bloom perv to chill out. You should all try it sometime.

And for those saying op is getting stroppy easily so must have a bad temper she has clearly just had an argument so will already be on edge.

Op you are not being unreasonable!

She was trying to be considerate to her other half - he could watch tv on the big tv instead of his tiny phone and watch dd who was sat with him in lounge while she did some chores and he was aggressive and childish in front of his dd. The op also indicates she feels bullied on a regular basis - she is not being unreasonable and may get more help in another area of the site.

Really the tv and babies is another thread altogether as this is a valid parenting choice discussion but of no real relation to the op's aibu.

DD is 5mo and I'd happily let her watch static on the telly if it kept her quiet for a bit.

Hope you're ok, OP. Babies are tough.

Think you are missing the point. Most of us stick our kids in front of the tv, we just don't pretend its edumacational and that EYFS told us to do it.

She didn't say anything about the EYFS in her first post. She only mentioned that after people started jumping on her about her dd watching the tv.

Arthur - yup. The only thing I can now think about is pavlova. I have nothing else remotely helpful or insightful to say any more. Good night, you will find me in sainsburies freezer dept in the morning.

Gosh, mumsnet at its worst here.

OP, if you are still reading, post another thread in 'Relationships'. People on AIBU seem to get a kick out of being as unfeeling as possible. It is much better in 'relationships', people will listen and be supportive of you.

YANBU to have wanted your DP not to throw a tantrum.

He was BU to throw his phone.

YANBU to stick your baby in front of telly.

YABU to tell your DH he is 'allowed' to change the channel, but only if he plays with a 4 month old (my DH would have rather gouged his eyes out than do that).

YABSilly to think at the ripe old age of 4 months, your baby cares about what's on tv.

YWBU in the way you handled replies to your OP. There's no point posting on here for 'support' and berating anyone who happens to differ with you, and your replies on your qualifications on EYFS were very arsey.

No, OP was perfectly reasonable in the way she handled replies.

Given that she is chronically ill since giving birth 4 months ago, and is arguably in an abusive relationship, you lot behaved Luke utter shits

She has left the thread and MN and you still feel the need to stick a boot in?

As you say you are a child are practitioner with specialist knowledge of early years you should already be aware that your OH's behaviour is not acceptable in front of a baby.

If you want acknowledgement that you are a martyr for tolerating the infantile behaviour of a supposed responsible adult and father of your child then you got it, there you go.

You are BU to the initial question, "...that no one else would go mad about this" As i think you will find that a partners behaviour is the cause of many a raised blood pressure and raised voices. And finally, yes he is an arse.
