[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]

Umm, I def fill the tub with baby in it. So what? Baby could have just as easily fallen backwards when he reached for the soap. He was right there, right? Baby was righted immediately? Sounds like he’s very responsible.

You definitely need to get off his back. Or you’re going to end up with a lot of resentment in your marriage, an anxious kid, and doing way more than your share around the house/with the kids because only you do things “right.” You’re on a bad path here. Apologize to your husband for overreacting about the gas, call your pediatrician if you’re concerned, and if you can’t seem to relax or lower your standards at all, you might consider therapy for anxiety.

I thought babies can sit quite well at 11 months?[/quote]
