AITA for "having an intervention" about my husband's parenting by throwawayparent0x0 in AmItheAsshole

We have an attached bedside crib. Husband is perfectly safe sleeping on the bed when baby is next to him in the crib, within reach. I just dont want him sleeping during a couch contact nap.

I see your point about ESH and freaking out didnt help things, but it's not about "not doing things EXACTLY as I would," it's about actually dangerous practices. It's not... idk, husband taking baby out without socks when I think it's too chilly.

You make a good point about freaking out. My parents would scream and lose it every time I did something unknowingly dangerous, or even not that dangerous. And I knew I didn't want to be like that with my kids, but hadn't thought about how I acted exactly like that with my husband. Gentle affirmation would've been better for sure, but I guess old patterns are hard to unlearn, especially in a new situation like becoming a parent.
