CleverCoyote+FollowMy Husband's 'Jokes' Are Making My 12-Year-Old Uncomfortable 😰Last night should have been perfect - celebrating my new job with the family at our favorite diner. But my husband ruined it with another inappropriate comment to my 12-year-old daughter. 😔 When she playfully teased him about talking to the waiter, he told her he was asking for 'a quickie.' My daughter was mortified but stayed quiet to protect my special moment. I only found out this morning. This isn't the first time. He's made comments about her clothes, called her 'hot' in her school uniform, and even suggested she visit a sex exhibition. Each time I confront him, he denies it or calls me oversensitive. I have a history of childhood trauma, so I keep second-guessing myself. But my mama instincts are screaming that something's wrong. Am I overreacting, or should I trust my gut? Have any of you dealt with something similar? I really need some perspective right now. 💔 #StepParenting #ParentingConcerns #TrustYourGut #FamilyRelationships129222Share
