Depends Who Is Watching
Any mother who sees this probably got a panic attack instantly. Your husband or somebody else taking your child and tossing them into the air isn’t anything new for you. While this is all innocent and fun, moms see this from a different lens from everybody else. If somebody throws your baby up even as low as possible, panic immediately sets in.
What may seem like a reasonable distance for the dad or the child is a different story for a mom. The motherly instinct to protect immediately kicks in and leaves you feeling uncertain. Every throw seems like one step closer to your child being dropped. Every second your gut tells you to move as close as possible to jump in at any moment!
