Just to start the baby is fine, however I am shaking. Have just had a huge fight with my husband about this. Need to know if IABU.
I will try to state the facts to not corrupt with all the emotion I am feeling.
Youngest is just 13 months, started walking a few days ago. DH and I were putting laundry away/sorting clothes. I was on the stairs behind the baby, she was headed upstairs so I was staying close to make sure she didn't fall. I needed to go downstairs to DD room to sort out her clothes, DH was on the way up the stairs, with a small amount of laundry in his hand - a few socks and pants at most. So as he approached DD2 and I on the stairs I saw he was headed up, DD was also headed up so I said "have you got her?" He said "yes". I turned around and went into DD room. Next thing I hear is a few thuds and a cry.
DD had fallen down the stairs, they are carpeted, she is fine, not even a bump, no clue how many stairs she fell down because DH was not watching her.
I scream, check the baby over, he immediately starts making excuses, he was only going to be a minute, he had laundry in his hands, it was my fault, she won't be the first baby to fall down stairs etc.
In his shoes I would have walked up slowly behind the baby, closed the door behind us and put the laundry away. I am so angry that he is minimising and excusing this situation. In my view it is simply neglectful. I always worry when he is in charge of the baby and I hate it.
