irresponsible father

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? ?

I am scared to know what else all moms do or is okay then. Maybe I'm wrong and crazy and overly cautious but that's not going to change

I dont think your your over reacting at all. I understand all your concerns andbi woildnt be pleased with my daughters fayer either of he did those things. He never leaves her unattended while she is awake or sleeping, god forbid something happens and he doesnt make it inside fast enough to get her. My daughters father also never has fallen asleep with the baby on him, he is to scared she might have rolled off. Some people are heavy sleepers and dont realize whats happening when theh are sleeping. She only has ever slept in her bed or bouncer or swing. But he is great at staying up for her. He doesnt drink so i dont have that problem either. My daughter is now 2 yrs old. And we are on baby number 2. Dont listen to others you have every right to be concerned just have a serious talk with him and let him know your fears.

I am not easily angered. Wow I expected MOMS to be more understanding I did not expect everyone to think being irresponsible or sleeping with baby is okay when there are so many possibilities of crushing the baby. And I have ONE baby not two not three and I am responsible for her if everyone wants to take the chance and sleep while on the couch with the baby or not watch the baby or drink with the baby okay yall. Not this mama

With mowing the lawn maybe just address he should have the monitor with him. Sleeping on the couch many people cos keep as long as he's not rolling I've on the baby or dropping baby then calm down.  The drinking, if he's just having a beer or two abs is still full able to take care of baby what's the problem. Now if he's getting drunk then there would be a problem.

I understand everyone has different views on parenting but I do not agree or think it is okay. I also know how my husband sleeps which is why i was so angry
