She is 5 and absolutely adores him. She burst with pride and excitement every time she sees him. We live together as a family of 4.
He works unsociable hours so I work PT and do all childcare and everything related. He gets home around 6pm eats, sleeps and heads back to work. it’s our normal.
However, in those short 2 hours he is so critical of her, this evening, she opens her mouth too wide to eat (she is a bit anxious and dramatisation comes into play and she doesn’t mean it, I think she will grow out of it). Next he stood up on a rant about how at the school performance she isn’t to run up to him, cuddle him, just be an excited 5 year old. He said to not be an idiot.
i hated every minute of his rant it made me feel small and I tried to talk to her but she cried asking if dad would still come to the play because I go to everything.
my aibu is, am I wrong to contemplate leaving the relationship over this? I don’t hate him but it’s a reoccurring along with his lack of time.
I told him he was wrong, he told me to mind my own business and he will speak to the kids however he wants as he isn’t hitting them.
