Edit: Thanks for the advice ladies. I decided my post gave away too much about the family and some of my friends know I am on here.. Not that I think anyone snoops me but you never know.
I would have to say something to my friend about it, but it is a tough situation. You'll need to go into the conversation knowing and accepting that this may affect your friendship or your husband's friendship or both.
I would go upstairs and offer help. But that is my personality. Do it very cordial and just be sincere. But I would say something to him once she is down and I would definitely say something to your friend (mom) as well. If you all are truly friends what can it hurt by being honest and offering some suggestions.
I would mention something to your friend. its not acceptable for him to curse at the 1 year old but i do understand its can be very frustrating...he needs to find other ways to release that frustration.
hm, this is a tough situation. I would talk to your friend, and tell her what you witnessed. Don't get involved right now, and let him do his thing. If you start talking to your friend, and she starts to get defensive about it, I would drop it.
But, what a poor baby. If I ever saw H swearing or yelling at C- I'd bishslap him.
I'm probably hours late but.... I would tell my DH to say something to him. Telling the mom is right too but why should you be uncomfortable when he's the wrong one? I say make him uncomfortable!
I think the child is more important that the friendship. I would be willing to lose a friendship to make sure the mom knows that he is an awful dad!!!
This. What a piece of crap. I'd want to know if my husband was acting like that. Not ok at all. It very likely will be an awkward convo, but like @chicagochic82 said, that baby is more important. It's not even just the yelling and swearing. She could have easily gotten hurt while being ignored.
Thanks ladies. I will tell talk to her about it on Tuesday. I would rather do it in person. I think she probably knows already because his behaviour seemed to fit his personality.. If that makes any sense. We will see what she says.
