What do I do?

[Imakitchensink]

There has been hellup here.
My DH came in from outside to see our dog on the sofa, he shouted and the dog jumped down and hid under the table. He went to grab the dog and he has nipped him on the hand. My husband went nuts, hit the dog and shouted blue murder at him saying he was going to kill him etc. I came in telling him to stop, leave the dog alone etc and he went nuts at me then shouting he was going to kill the dog and don’t I care that he was bitten? My 11 year old DD heard all of this so I put the dog in the kitchen and went to console her as she was hyperventilating.
Afterwards I told him he ever scares my children like that again I’ll leave! He’s now trying to turn it on me saying i obviously don’t care if the dog bites the kids and I’m wrong.
Our little dog who’s a Frenchie has never shown one ounce of aggression before but he is scared of my DH I think. It’s all also my fault as I haven’t trained him properly apparently.
Obviously I don’t want my dog who I love dearly to bite my kids but I think DH has brought this all on himself with the way he treats him.
I don’t even know what to do!! Just needed to get it out I suppose!

For me - I wouldn’t be able to keep a dog that bites. Would never forgive myself if it bit a kid.
Not excusing your husbands behaviour. I wouldn’t want to keep him either.

Any animal will bite if you scared and backed into a corner though. Heck, even bunnies.

You DH was bitten - this was unacceptable.

You didn't say your DH was going to hit the dog - he was trying to get him out from under the table?

Too many stories in the news of children injured and killed because of a harmless family pet.

We don't know you - perhaps you DON'T deserve a new car and perhaps the music you listen to IS shite - most of it these days.

When did you get your last car? Does it need changing? Do you do your fair share of earning the household income? Do you do your fair shgare 'around the house?

These are the usual questions we see on Mumsnet.
