My husband wears 2 shirts, an undershirt and a regular one. He tries to do the same with our son because he says “it’s more comfortable”. I have asked him several times not to put Julian in 2 shirts. We live in Texas and it’s effin hot! There is no reason a toddler should be in more than 1 shirt unless it’s cold outside (which it’s not).  

Last night after my husband picked Julian up, he (Julian) fell asleep in the car. I got him out and undressed him to put in his crib. Julian had 2 shirts on and both were soaking wet with sweat. I tried to nicely make my point, again, to my husband but he wasn’t having it. We ended up getting in an argument and basically told me I didn’t know what I was talking about and he doesn’t trust my judgement with Julian beause he is my first child.

 I was crushed. I couldn’t believe he said that to me, I still can’t. I know he can be a total ass at times, everyone can. But I was in total shock, and I still am. How could he say that to me? I do eveything I possibly can for that kid. He is my world!

And because, yes, I am a first-time mom, anytime something happens where I don’t know what to do, I will do research or ask people who have older kids. I am not naive. I know I am young, and I know I don’t have all the answers. But to tell me he doesn’t trust what I say or what I do with MY child, the one I carried in MY body for 10 months, is unbelievable.

I am so hurt
