[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP.  I think parenting has become more careful over the decades.  We are more aware of safety hazards than our grandparents.  It's possible the husband's family was more cavalier in their parenting so he doesn't know.

OP does not need to divorce.  And does not need to do all the work herself.  She needs to swap chores so she is doing the safety-oriented things.

OP, btw, Americans supposedly are among the most frequent baby bathers in the world.  It's an artifact of our modern conveniences and baby product marketing.  So maybe your kids don't need baths every day.  Research it if you don't believe me.  I read up on it because my babies hated bathtime and would get sad about being in the baby bathtub.  I felt bad making them cry when I could just wipe them off during diaper changes and they never got stinky in between less-frequent baths. So don't make extra work for yourself.

Local hospitals may have first aid classes for parents.  That would be a good start.

Another piece of advice.  Watch your children around choking hazards.  Avoid serving large ice cubes, large apple slices, hotdogs, and grapes until your kids are old enough to chew neatly and thoroughly.[/quote]

Are you serious?! Cutting back on baths for the kids because the husband is an incompetent ass is not the answer. Give me a break. [/quote]
