I can't believe I'm posting this but I need the support of parents.Hubby and I are having a fight about leaving the toddler in the bath. He's 2 and a half.Tonight while we were having dinner, the toddler spilt cous cous everywhere. Hubby took him upstairs into the bath while I cleaned it off the floor. Hubby returned back downstairs and continued eating his dinner over the sink. I asked whether the toddler was in the bath, to which he replied "Yup" and kept eating. I was furious and told him to get back upstairs now. He said that he'll be alright, he's OK. I protested and he went back upstairs.Yeah sure, our toddler has never had an incident in the bath before. He's never slipped, hit his head, been stuck underwater or turned the hot tap on himself. That doesn't mean it won't happen and that's what supervision is there to prevent.The fact that he thinks it's ok to be on a different room while the toddler is in the bath let alone a different LEVEL just floors me. There's too much to lose to risk leaving him alone in the bath.I feel like this is parenting 101 and he is behaving like I'm overreacting. I'd love some honest feedback - what do you think? It won't change my mind but it'd be interesting to see how others feel about the situation. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MBaI0i
