Frustrated

So my daughter goes with her dad two days a week from 11-5. I’ve been having issues with him refusing to give her naps and refusing to help potty train her (because, in his words, he’s too lazy to take her upstairs to the bathroom). So my problem is this, he told me yesterday at some point he fell asleep without knowing whether she was asleep or not and when he woke up she was sitting up. I ended up messaging him last night and told him he needs to be more responsible and careful when she’s in his care, he tried turning it around and said “why are you all of a sudden acting like this all the time?” I told him I’m not acting any certain way, I’m just acting like a mother. I guess the point I’m trying to get to is this, did I overreact about him falling asleep? Our daughter is 2 and the bedrooms are on the 3rd floor of the house, there are a lot of stairs, and she just learned how to open and close doors. Here’s a picture of her just because.

Show your support

I don’t think you’re over reacting, if he’s fallen asleep and she’s hurt herself or got hold of something sharp/dangerous he’d be held responsible. I’d be pissed

Absolutely not I made a post like tho the other day and people said I was because he’s not gonna parent how I do. But there’s a difference between different parenting styles and doing stuff that’s gonna harm your kid in the long run

Why is he falling asleep during those hours especially if he's refusing to give her naps?! but no you're not overreacting. She could have been hurt etc but also he's clearly not looking after her properly

@Ashleigh and that was my first thought. I know he loves her, but if something happened to her I would kill him.

@Danya of course everyone’s parenting styles are different, but that’s not a parenting style. Falling asleep when you should be watching your child is not being responsible though.

@Lauren I worry that’s not the first time he’s done it, and that it won’t be the last… but of course he’s not going to tell me if it does now, I just stress about him watching her.

No I'd flip lol def not an overreaction

@ren I just wish he’d realize it’s not okay, all he kept telling me was that it wouldn’t happen again (which I honestly don’t believe).
