and watched tv while......? they were suppose to be watching your 3 month old son? This is what my husband does when he watches our son while I am at work or school and it drives me nuts I just left this morning and there he was just sitting in his little seat staring at the wall while my husband was completely wrapped up in playing his video game, and it infuriates me. He works nights and comes home to watch him while I'm gone, but he doesn't give him very much attention. Sometimes he will just go to sleep on the couch while he is sitting in his chair next to him, it just drives me nuts that he awake and alert but ignored. I suggested day care and he got made and offended because he thought I was saying he's a bad father. How would you deal with this?

Is this really bad for my child to be ignored like this? What kind of negative effect could come of it?
