This evening partner puts DC to bed as she insists he sleeps on the floor while she falls asleep which she does quite quickly as she is very tired. He then comes and informs me that she's fallen asleep on the floor and I need to put her in bed. I ask him to put her to bed as I'm very tired. He then proceeds to tell me that I need to 'show him'. It wasn't enough to explain to him how it should be done but that I needed to go with him to 'demonstrate' as he didn't want to wake her up. He then goes and puts her in bed but comes back to tell me that she is now in bed but sleeping the wrong way and that I need to go and turn her around as the cushioned bumpers are not at the end of the bed.
He insists on needing to be 'shown' how to do most things for example how to put her in her car seat or drive her on his own in the car despite the fact that she is now 2.5 years old. He even asked a work colleague to fit the child seat mirror. He once made oatmeal for her and just added milk without heating it up despite the fact he has in the past made oatmeal how it should be done.
More often than not the needing to be 'shown' how to do it extends to most things.
He is educated and attended a top private school. I feel it's probably the result of how he was parented rather than him being to blame. He genuinely believes he needs to be 'shown' how to do it. AIBU ?
