[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not ideal, but nothing happened. I’d be much more concerned if there was a pattern of carelessness. One time let it go. You’re fine. The baby is fine. [/quote]

The other day, he filled the tub as the baby sat in the tub. I’ve told him not to do that before because there is a risk of scalding baby. He says it’s fine because he’s already tested the water before putting baby in- well guess what happened? When he reached to turn off the faucet, his hands weren’t supporting baby and baby fell backwards in the tub.

He’s super careful and never makes mistakes at work, and I feel like he doesn’t take the same care at home at all. He says I am too careful and over vigilant. [/quote]

I have never waited for the tub to fill before putting in the kid. I would expect an 11 month old to be reasonably good at sitting up. I assume he immediate righted the baby afterwards? I agree that you sound anxious and hypercritical. [/quote]

Wait, people fill up the tub BEFORE putting the kid in?? We make sure the water is warm and then put the kid in. People sit around and wait for it to fill up?? I also open the drain and let the soap/dirty water drain and then fill it up with clean water for splashing.[/quote]

I mean I fill the tub up first because my baby went through a phase of freaking out at the sound/sight of water coming out of the faucet and now it's habit, but I'm as confused as everyone else about OP's judgment.  These were both small, unfortunate accidents where no one was harmed.  It happens.   OP, have you considered talking to someone about anxiety?  You seem really stressed by little things.[/quote]
