Annoyed about his stupidity - AIBU?

[onelastchance]

Ds (4) wanted something cut out of a magazine and went O tell dh. Dh was in kitchen and he gave ds a pair of sharp kitchen scissors which ds brought to me. I was horrified dh gave to ds as could've been so dangerous. Couldn't say much as we had visitors. Dh did apologise and recognised it was a stuped thing to do. I'm so cross. AIBU?

Un;ess he is constantly endangering your child then I think you need to get over it. he has apologised and recogmised his stupid action.

No not constantly doing it at all. That's really why i was so shocked at his lack of thought!

My four yr old knows how to carry scissors safely
he's been taught at nursety I think

It was more the thought of if he tripped or something :(

Yeap I think a 4 year old should know how to hold scissors safely.

Teach your son how to hold the scissors safely and then even if he tripped it would be ok.

I don't see the drama - and think YABU (I know not posted there) for making it a bigger thing than it was/is.

Maybe i am overreacting a bit and should just accept dh's apology :)

My 3 yo uses them all the time and I teach children aged 3+, using saws and tools. Lots of Montessori and similar nurseries use tools and sharp scissors. I agree that your DH should have thought of the dangers but it's not such a big deal. Show your son how to use things safely and properly and he'll be fine.
