That is insane behaviour.
I've had my phone lost/hidden by my child, I just kept searching, looked in likely places, got her Dad to ring it etc.
If it's an iPhone, I think you can try to find it on another one etc
It was frustrating and inconvenient but you don't act like that, it's beyond ridiculous.
Totally insane, unreasonable, disproportionate, violent behaviour.
Must have been terrifying for your child.
What a memory for him to have.
Smashing plates and glasses you all use is bad enough, but smashing a small child's toy is something else.
The severe verbal abuse ...very nasty indeed.
It sounds like he's always been a problem with the 0-100 description, I'd say you've been putting up with abuse for a long time (and writing it off as temper.
Do you think you've been minimising it?
It's not a good thing for a child to grow up with.
You shouldn't have to put up with if either.
He sounds like a fkg toddler having a massive, violent tantrum. Does he realise the only child in the house is supposed to be his son, not him.
I'd be interested to see if he'd act like that in public, or work ....or is it only with smaller, weaker dependants he feels free to indulge himself in lengthy, violent, destructive, verbally abusive tantrums with?
He should have been arrested.
If would be a good idea to report this, get if recorded for future childcare arrangements. Cause I'd be trying to minimise the amount if access that man got to a child. People need to know he's gone on a rampage, destroying items in the house, including the child's toys/equipment.
