Baby

This morning the baby was whinging and I was so tired and unwell so I tried to rock him back to sleep in bed rather than his own crib. But accidentally I fell asleep and so did the baby and the DH came out of nowhere as he’s meant to be at work and started telling me off to say it’s not safe for baby to be sleeping with me and he sending me back to my dads house just cos I did this. PS I do all of the looking after for my baby not him. So whose wrong here and what do I do when DH comes home to tell me off again after work today

How old is baby?

did he send you away without baby or with baby? If he sent you to get some rest while he cared for baby that’s one thing but doesn’t sound like this is the case?

better to plan to cosleep and do it safely than do it accidentally and unsafely.

regardless he shouldn’t be having a go at you that’s not ok. If this is out of character for him then I’d advise talking to him and saying you won’t be spoken to like that again and he needs to step up and support you so you are jit so exhausted. However the fact you already think he’s going to have a go at you again when he gets home has me thinking this is actually how he treats you regularly in which case I advise you move out and tell him once you are gone for your own safety

Your husband can't 'send ' you anywhere , you're an adult . Every new Mum has fallen asleep in this situation , it's the exhaustion the getting up through the night etc . Where is the baby ? Has he kept the baby at home ? I'm shocked that he's done this , you need to tell him he has no right to . What would happen if you refused to go back to your Father's house , would he be abusive .
