Iām honestly in shock with how today has ended. It was dinner time, very casual (we ate in the living room. My husband was cleaning up a small bit of rice that my toddler (2yo) spilled on the floor. The first time he cleaned it up w/ our toddler help. My husband put it all back in the bowl and was getting ready to take it to the kitchen, when my toddler went and spilled it again.
Now I could already see his dad was getting frustrated because his tone was definitely more agitated but I chose not to step in, he a grown man and should be able to handle it. So I let him figure it out and again get the mess all cleaned up. We had the tv on and my husband got distracted again after cleaning up the mess and yet again my toddler spilled the rice again before he could take it to the trash in kitchen.
This timey husband got so upset he grabbed out toddler so aggressively, lost his grip and almost dropped him ON HIS HEAD, yelling in his ear āno weāre done, we donāt do thatāetc.
my heart literally dropped, I was so pissed I just started yelling at him. I could not believe he responded that way to a little ruby of rice on the floor. I canāt even stand to be around him. Iām so made that he allowed himself to get so angry towards our child especially when he hasnāt even spent a whole day caring for him.(not that it would excuse his actions). Honestly just disgusted with his behavior and it absolutely triggered me. I didnāt know he had that in him!!

How was he holding him that he almost dropped him on his head?
Your feelings are valid. Completely.
His frustration is also valid.
His actions, however, are not.
