irresponsible father

[WhiteJasmineRose3]

So my baby is 3 months old and her father is extremely irresponsible it pisses me off he thinks it is okay to leave the baby in the house while he mows the yard or he will sleep while holding the baby on the couch I made a huge scene and told him if he ever does it again he will never hold the baby without my presence. I am so angry and he sees nothing wrong with sleeping while holding the baby!!! Or drinking while babysitting I seriously am just done explaining he's an idiot and putting his own child at risk. I'm wondering if it's just my idiot husband that's like that or are all dad's like that I really don't know? ?

We took lots of parenting classes that's what upsets me :(

And definitely don't leave him alone with baby if he's gettin drunk, he needs to grow up and realize he's responsible for another life here. Good luck!!!

And also my daughter was born premature and stayed in the hospital for a month before coming home. She weighed on 4 pounds when we took her home. So we were both very catious of our actions and what we did and did not do around her. But no matter even if we had a full term baby i would have still been very over protective and catious. But thats just us. Everyone is different and has different views on parenting.

I agree with you, I'm in parenting classes right now, and took them with my first as well and they stress more than anything to NOT sleep with baby. I'm in other programs as well that stress this as well. Its one thing if it's an accident for a few minutes to doze but to intentionally sleep with baby is very unsafe and I've watched video after video on this matter in the classes I'm taking and seen the stories parents have told that thought it was safe or no big deal and ended up accidentally suffocating or dropping baby. So I personally would freak out about that too bc any parenting class you take stresses the importance of not doing this. And mowing the lawn without a monitor or any kind of supervision is completely irresponsible as well. If I was you I'd make him attend parenting classes that can teach him all this and until he does to nit leave him alone with baby. There are many places that offer free classes if you are in the US, just call your local health department and they can set you up with some.
