My boyfriend loves to make our baby jump

[Nonymous1]

He finds it absolutely hilarious to make our 8 month olds baby jump. He does it in a playful way, out of nowhere he'll shout "boop" super loud and we'll both jump out of our skin. DS does find it funny sometimes, but not every time and he's jumped so much he's cried before. If it was once in a while I probably wouldn't mind but he does it like every day and I'm starting to worry about the long term affects it could have on DS.
He has just now promised to stop doing it, but I'm so mad. DS will be drifting off to sleep and he'll make him jump. I hate it and he finds it so entertaining. Is he just being a man? Is this a dad thing? Or am I just worrying too much 🙈

It's a weirdo thing.

That is fucked up.
Raised Cortisol in infants/children.
Google it.
Protect your child.

This is such a sad post to read, your poor son. Please protect him from your partner, he sounds really cruel and abusive.

Poor little baby. What a nasty bully. Imagine if he did this to a puppy or kitten, would anyone think that was funny? You would be thinking he was a fucking bullying arsehole.

super loud? What?

I'd be worried about the long term affect it would have on a small child is being constantly made to jump. Especially when going to sleep, I can imagine it would cause some anxiety of some sort

It’s not a man or a dad thing. That’s really messed up. 😞 Protect your poor son.

That's awful How old is he, three?

Would he find it funny if someone kept doing it to him.

I would seriously worry about the long term implications. This sort of stuff messes people up. Your baby is growing/developing and should feel safe in his environment. He's not getting that, is he?

Show him this thread.

What an arse he is. Make sure he sticks to his promise.

This is really horrible to read. So cruel.

This made me sad. Poor baby.

It's like when people chuck babies really high in the air and catch them. Idiots.

Fucking hell.

What can that poor baby ever relax?

It'll have PTSD by it's first birthday.

People like that make my blood boil.

Is he just being a man? Is this a dad thing?

No it is a bullying dickhead thing.

Get him the fuck away from your baby until he stops this behaviour.

I have to hide this thread. If this bloke is real he needs a punch right in the fucking knackers. Horrible.

LTB.
HE GETS HIS KICKS BY FRIGHTING A BABY??

Is he a twat in other ways too?

I suspect he is

Your poor baby

Your child is going to be super anxious and scared. Why is he enjoying making your baby cry??

I wouldn't want somebody like that round a baby. He's a total idiot. This is how abuse starts.

Op is gone

Your bf is sadistic bully who is abusing your baby. He is terrorizing this innocent child. Why are you still with him?

This is horrendous. It verges on cruelty. I would be seriously bothered about someone who finds it funny to scare a baby.
