To be angry at DH and not accept his apology

Tbh his apology was crap and I'm still upset hours later.

My dd who is 3 is going through a shouting, not listening, being a normal 3 yr old stage.

This morning she was on form saying no etc etc she opened the drawer that has all the arts and crafts saying she wanted to color. We were just getting ready to go to school so I say no.

She opened the drawer anyway and then my DH comes up behind her takes her hands off the drawer and shuts it, now usually I wouldnt say anything but he did it with too much force and she bounced back, bounced off his belly and then hit her face on the chest of drawers.

DH then says "well that was silly, next time don't strop and you won't get hurt". I saw the whole saga and it was because he took her arms off too hard she bounced and then bounced forward iyswim.

I was right next to her so grabbed her in for a cuddle and explained that it wasn't her fault she bounced and she had a little red mark on her face. Now considering she wears glasses full time I'm surprised she didn't have more of a mark or worse.

DH walks off and sits down and says she was stropping that's why she hit her face at this point I was upset he wasn't saying sorry to dd. he refused to say sorry to dd so I consoled her and said it was an accident and she's ok, she is ok.

Dd then comes over picks her up and says "sorry, ok" puts her down and then says "happy?". I explained I wasn't happy and I'm not happy it wAsnt dds fault and I said to not touch her with force like that again.

He went to work and we did a half hearted love you have a nice day but I'm still upset, I told my sister and she thinks iabu because dd is going through a stroppy phase and is being a madam at times, but I said that's no excuse to basically be mean to her and take his frustration on her being a 3 yr old out on her.

Sorry for the rant and essay. Wibu?

I grew up in the 70s. The 90s was nothing in comparisom!

Theonlylooninthevillage · 20/06/2015 14:04

I beg to differ!! We had the spice girls, weird antenna hair do's, trousers that poppers all up the sides and sappy boy bands singing about love!

We had feathered haircuts and Afros! and then coupe sauvafe perms and Mohawks.
Loons and bags and flares and drainpipes and bondage trousers.
And the Jackson 5 and the Osmonds.

The seventies really was the decade that taste forgot. I have the photos to prove it.

I grew up in the seventies

Here's bad parenting :-

Being about six and sitting in the footwell of the passenger seat (because there was no more room in the back) of my Sf car while my uncle sat in the seat, smoking burning my arm with his fag end on the way back from the pub Shock

Theonlylooninthevillage · 20/06/2015 19:55

Lmao at both of those, I remember having to sit on a cushion as a booster seat and my parents not thinking twice about clipping me in public :/

I hope sadwidow sees this too and realizes I'm not a actually a troll, her radar needs adjusting Hmm
