So my husband told our 4 year old daughter to give him her iPad and she said “it’s my pad, why do you want it?” So he got got upset at her. He told her to go away from him and not to speak to him until she learns how to share. She is a stubborn child I know, she doesn’t like sharing and I’m working on that with her. She has a younger sister and another sibling on the way. I was fine with him making her realize her mistake but what I was not fine with was when she finally got up and kept going to him to apologize and say she won’t do and he kept pushing her away. Instead of hugging her and explaining to her what she does isn’t right he kept hurting her feelings more and my child, she’s very emotional. She’s stubborn but she gets her heartbroken fast as well. So when she saw despite her attempts of trying to get her dads attention he was neglecting her she was in pain.

Like dude, she’s a 4 year old girl who came to you and said she’s sorry like 6 times and tried to hug you and kiss you but you shoved her away.

I told him not to do that to her because she’s gonna grow Up to be a moody mess like I was and she also will start hating him for no reason.

And he’s goes she’s my child too I know how to raise her. No, you don’t do that to a 4 year old. I was a messed up child I was the one with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, I know how it feels to grow up with parents who “neglected” me. That’s why I never told them what happened to me as a child (abuse and all) because I was scared and I don’t want my daughter to grow up feeling like either of her parents don’t give a shit. I don’t want her to be scared to tell us something cos we’ll be mad or we won’t believe her or listen. He doesn’t understand this.
