Who is in the wrong

[bathtimedramas]

Parent A is bathing 14 month old baby who is playing happily in the bath.

Parent B asks to swap as they need the toilet.

Parent B sits on the toilet on their phone doing some work whist right in front of the baby happily playing in the bath.

Parent A goes to get on with some house work.

Parent B, after approx 7 mins, shouts to parent A that the bath is freezing and the baby is really cold.

Parent A thinks that this is Parent B's fault as they should keep checking the temperature and it was their responsibility.

Parent B thinks that Parent A must have had the bath too cold in the first place and that it is their fault.

Who's in the right?

Both parent A and parent B need to grow up

B.

Parent B without a doubt. Babies in water need your full, undistracted monitoring + attention.

Sorry so you think parent B is in the right or the wrong?

B in the wrong

Before it was removed I saw a clip of a dc drowning in a bath at home whilst a parent sat on their phone...
*I had no idea what I was watching..
*wasn't watching it whilst bathing a dc though...
Fucking grim though.

What have you bothered with A and B? It's obvious who is who.

Prepare yourself for a life of useless parenting from B

oh good lord!...

It's actually not me, but someone close to me.

Who filmed the clip?

Parent B left a baby unattended in a bath for 7 minutes.

B is wrong, when they sat there next to said child.

They weren't unattended

It sounds like a safety warning film thing

They were if the parent in the room was engrossed in their phone to the extent they didn't notice the bath had gone cold.

What a load of drama. Parent B should have got the toddler out the bath and wrapped them in a towel, and that should have been the end.

It was on a nanny cam... It was real and removed...

Who ever is watching the child in the bath is responsible for their safety and that the temperature is correct.

Gosh, that’s just awful

They both need their heads banging together. It’s a non event.
It concerns me that people so ridiculously immature are allowed to procreate.

I'm assuming that parent B is a useless parent and parent A knows that. Therefore parent A is wrong because they left someone they knew was useless with a child in a bath. It can take moments for a child to drown.

If I was in that scenario, I would have taken the baby out of the bath rather than leave them with a feckless arse.

How cold can a bath get, toddlers aren’t exactly in there for hours? Mine didn’t really mind a lukewarm bath and I can’t say I was fastidiously checking the temperature as baths were no longer than 10-15mins - their skin is so soft I think you’d notice the shrivels before the bath got too cold.

Sounds like a lot of drama

FWIW, parent A didn't think it was a big deal, but parent B was pretty annoyed that parent A must have run a cold ish bath in the first place because it got very cold very quickly.

Just settling a debate - it definitely is a non issue - but helps to sense check these things!

A parent was taking a shit in the same room as their child bathed? That's absolutely gross.
