this is a community like r/AmITheAsshole except unlike that subreddit here you can post interpersonal conflicts, anything that's AITA but is not allowed there even posting about Scar from the lion king and trying to convince redditors that he was not the AH. rules: don't berate others and no pornography we have children here
This is not my reddit account but I need opinions on this matter.
My wife (40F) and I (43M) have been married for 6 years and have 3 children.
My wife is a SAHM. Our son who's 3 years old is very hyperactive. She is naturally strict and authoritarian with our children but our son really struggles to listen to her and stay still. I admit that he is a very difficult child.
Yesterday when I came back home from work I noticed my son had bandages on the back of his hands. When I asked my wife about it she told me he was fooling around running in the kitchen and accidentally burnt himself.
I found her explanation very weird because of the location of the burning. It was in the middle of the back of both his hands which is a weird spot to fall on.
She finally admitted that she burnt his hands on purpose with a very hot metal spoon that she was cooking with, because he kept running in the kitchen and wouldn't stay still. When she told me that I slapped her and yelled at her.
Thinking that she purposefully inflicted such a pain to our 3yo son drove me crazy. The burns are very visible and he will need treatment for it.
I never hit my wife before but I honestly feel like she deserved it for what she did to our son..
AITAH ?
