I would have sworn it would be me when I was pg. I'm such a worrier. But turns out DH is insanely protective. It's actually comical, but it's almost to a fault because then he treats me like a bad mom for allowing DS to do things that he wouldn't allow.

Examples:
My nephew was over to our house and had had the croup the week prior. I told DH to just not let him touch the same toys; he held him in his arms the entire time my nephew was at my house! It was so funny.

Another example: I started out pureeing food for DS and have slowly added more texture and now he can "chew" with his gums, so for soft foods like avocado or sweet potato I give him chunks and he gnaws on it. Many times he gags as he's learning to eat and swallow but DH thinks I'm a bad parent and essentially I'm choking him. He purees ALL his food. At his sisters wedding I was letting him suck on a cube of cantaloupe, but I had to leave so I handed him off to SIL and she let him gnaw on it; he "bit" off a piece and gagged and DH snatched him away from SIL and wouldn't let her feed him.

It's insanely crazy. Most times I laugh, but there have been times it really hurts because he treats me so negatively.

Who is the more protective parent, and does it ever cause dissension?
