Boyfriend fell over holding baby :(

Sorry to hear she’s got a few bruises but I also don’t think it’s realistic to blame him for slipping on water. That could happen to all of us, not everyone would notice water on the stairs. He’s probably feeling pretty guilty himself so I wouldn’t blame him for it or to say I couldnt trust him. It’s an accident. I’ve fallen with my daughter, the good news is she’s okay and he is too. Try to think of it like that xx

I think it’s a bit harsh/unfair to say you don’t trust him cause it was an accident and I don’t he planned to fall on purpose and I agree with Sarah that he is probably feeling guilty about it.

Agree with the comments above, it's not his fault

Agree with comments above. Yes it’s something that could’ve been avoided but it’s not fair to blame him for it and say you don’t trust him. That could’ve happened to you just as much as it happened to him. Also report it to your building manager as there should’ve been a wet floor sign put out or a notice that can be easily seen to warn people about the leak

Completely unfair to say you don’t trust him and you blame him. Accidents happen. Just because you would have avoided the wet part doesn’t mean you would never fall over in another scenario.

Honestly should sue your building. Not his fault, it's the building managments fault.

No one wants to trip and no one trips intentionally…

I fell off of a slide tonight with my son. I avoided falling onto him thankfully and I took the whole brunt of the fall. Accidents happen. Men aren’t as observant as women imo. Wait until she gets hurt under your care, the mom guilt is real

Did you get her checked out to make sure nothing is broken?

she's his kid too. how would you feel if you had slipped while holding her, both you and your daughter got hurt, and instead of your partner checking if you were both alright, he just has a go at you saying he doesn't trust you with your own kid? you say you "would have avoided it", I highly doubt he looked at the puddle and thought "let's step in it so I slip over while holding my daughter" 🙄 as you said, it could have been worst. that wasn't the worst thing to happen. I feel bad for your boyfriend, women wonder why men don't show emotions properly, it's because you go and get mad at him. poor dude😮‍💨

@Christina🤱🏼🍂☕️♈️ noooooo that must’ve been awful. I feel guilty over the littlest of things 🤣 yeah men are definitely not as observant but I think it’s ingrained into us as mothers

@Morgan you’re right. He has a big bruise on his back and she has bruises on her quadricep and just below pelvis. I don’t have any other proof. They’ve meant to fix it for months so I’ve had to tip toe carefully around the water .

@Mama A yes my ma is paediatrician x

@Sarah I know & you are right. I just went straight to worrying about my daughter and trying to find a solution to protect her when in the midst of it all I didn’t give any empathy for my boyfriend who must have felt terrible. Thank you for pulling my head out my arse ! X

Look, our babies make us very emotional. It’s normal to be scared when she gets hurt and to jump to things, it’s your jobs to protect her 🩷 I’m glad he’s okay (he sounds pretty banged up though) but he protected her too using his body to take the brunt of the fall and she’s okay. If it was the other way around with you having an accident and he said he no longer trusted you to parent, you’d be torn up by that. But I know that guilt eats people, I felt awful when I fell with our baby. I cried and cried and was so scared to tell her dad in case he was upset. Definitely talk to your building because that’s a long term neglect of basic maintenance and could have been so much worse xx
