I use a leash for him when outside because he’s very fast. My husband regrettably joined us yesterday. I asked him to hold the leash while I drink my water. The leash came out of his grasp at some point and he said “you get it” I completely shut down after that cause 1. He’s your kid too. 2. What a dick. He asked m...
