to think my DP should be more concerned about our DD and not the children next door

DD aged 2.3 has just fallen out of bed, she somehow managed to fall around her bed guard and onto the floor, bitten her lip and bled everywhere. By the time I raced upstairs she was sobbing big heaving confused and shocked cries. I have calmed her down, checked her over... she is ok apart from cut lip. She is tucked up in bed with me for tonight. I am so angry at DPs reaction and need to vent apart from anything so AIBU that I am cross because whilst I was calming my sobbing daughter he was stressing at me to take her downstairs as the kids next door are trying to sleep. All of her presents are already waiting for xmas morning so I could not and frankly didn't really care if the kids were disturbed momentarily whilst I calmed down my baby. I'm so annoyed that his first concern was for them and not distressed DD. I am heavily pregnant.. am I blowing this out of proportion? Some perspective would be appreciated please.

Yanbu....he's being a bit wired but try to overlook it for Christmas and mutter "weirdo" under your breath. He obviously cares what other people think.

YAcompletleyNBU.

But it's Christmas Day very soon, so instead of continuing any stress at home over it, vent on here, know that you are right, and look after yourself and your little girl.

Here's hoping she has forgotten all about her fall by the time she's ready to wake up and see if he's been.

He was being a bit silly really, easier for you to calm her then and there rather than moving her to another room, him stressing can't have been helping calm her either.

Is he normally like that or is this totally out of character? If the latter, could it have been shock? People focus on weird things when they're in shock.

Hmmm not sure he is being totally unreasonable. You were comforting her and perhaps he is worried about neighbours DC being woken as it's Christmas Eve.... if their parents have already done their stockings and they wake up.... ugh!

It's a tricky one. On the one hand you are rightly wanting to make sure you preserve the Christmas wonder for your DD. On the other hand, if their children wake because of your DD's cries, then they could have their Christmas wonder spoiled.

Was there another upstairs room you could have taken her to that didn't adjoin their room?
