How old is your daughter? There's a difference between a 2 month old and a 2 year old. I wouldn't worry if the child's old enough. Kids need a bit of rough play x
When dads play with their kids, it builds bonds and actually helps child development in some ways. I agree that depending on age, does depend on the way he should play with her, but I wouldn’t let your anxiety of her falling get in the way of her playing with her father. I don’t think he would intentionally drop her.. Also, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but at least he’s showing up and playing with her. A LOT of women don’t have a bd’s that show up for their child.
He does have a history of spinning her, placing her straight down then she falls hence why I told him she is 2yrs old and if he dropped her she would of fallen from a fair hight, she definitely gets enough rough play just from watching my brothers do stuff or her crazy tantrums haha
While a fall isn't ideal, at two, she's resilient. However, his history of her falling after spinning makes your concern understandable. It's great she sees active play, but that's not the same as her dad being involved. Even if things are tough between you, his presence as her father is important for her. Sometimes, focusing too much on things like this can create drama and risk him becoming less involved and she'd miss out. Perhaps setting aside negative feelings and letting him be her dad will be best for your little girl. She deserves an involved father and he deserves to be there for her.
It’s scientifically proven that men play with children using there body and physical and women play with children with toys! The way men’s brain works with play teaches them how to step out of the comfort zone and take risks, with just a mother in there life they would be timid when playing with other kids later in life. I know it’s crazy but it’s actually good for her to learn play in that “risky” way. It’s crazy the way our brains work vs theres
Does he have a history of dropping her or has he always been careful? How far from the ground was she? Also how old? Sounds like you might have just been projecting anxiety… kids are resilient. Yes it was rude of him to laugh at you but it depends on the rest of the situation as well.
