I slapped my wife because she burnt our son on purpose
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 ?
