Husband for dressing DD properly.

He got her dressed this morning. I usually get her dressed but I was fed up this morning because he woke us all up with this twenty five alarms that he keeps snoozing. He puts her in a sleeveless vest and a hoodie. She falls asleep and now I’m worried as she’s fallen asleep with a hood on and she’s only 18 months. I mention it to DH just to make him aware to not do it again, and he’s all like ‘what’s wrong with that’ and ‘that’s how I wear a hoodie’. I get really annoying. All I needed from him was a ‘sorry, didn’t think’ ‘won’t do it again’. I shout. He tells me to drop the attitude. I’m losing the plot with him today.

Isn't it a year for pillows and duvets? I just can't see a hoody being a problem.

Another one that doesn't see the issue with a hoodie on an 18 month old.

Are you just annoyed today after the alarms have woken you up? Sorry but you just sound grumpy.

YABU - an 18 month old is perfectly fine to fall asleep in a hoodie, and it's 100% not a reason to shout at your partner, ffs!

I wouldn't have put DD down for a nap wearing one, but that's because I always just put her down for a nap in her vest and sleeping bag, but if she fell asleep in the car/on a walk etc then she would sleep in whatever she was wearing. The only time I'd ever try and take her out of clothes would be if we'd been out for a walk in winter and DD was all bundled up in layers - vest, t-shirt, jumper, padded pramsuit, hat etc - and then went into a warm house and she was at risk of overheating if I didn't take a few layers off, but even then I'd do the bare minimum to try not to wake her up.

This is an 18 month old, not an 18 weeker. You are massively over-reacting.

If you feel like that about hoodies, why do you even have them? But there’s really no problem with them on a toddler. Over 12 months and they can safely sleep with a pillow and duvet! If they turn onto their side and the hood is a bit in their face then they can just turn away from it.

Your poor DH. Sounds like he dressed her completely fine and you just over reacted.

Shouting at your husband is disrespectful full stop. Shouting at him over this is absolutely bonkers. Don’t raise your child in an environment where the adults shout at each other, that’s way more damaging than falling asleep in a hoody.
