throwing a baby   

My husband has been doing it to the kids in our family for years. It terrifes both the nannys, but I'm so used to it at this stage I dont bat an eye.

My husband used to do it to my daughter but he would twirl her upside down if you know what I mean. He would hold her arms and twist her to an upside down position back to upright position. He used to sometimes do this to her with her legs also. I hated it and told him to never do it again but he didn't listen and he hit our daughters head on the floor. He finally relized that I was right and didn't do it anymore and I won't even let him attempt it with our son.

My family has been doing tossing children up in the air for as long as I can remember. None of the children were ever dropped because we never completely let the child go. The first time my brother did it with my daughter I was scared but she loved it. Now we do things like lie on the floor and allow the children to fly through the air by us raising them into the air on our feet.

My father used to toss my daughter into my husband's arms before we went home for the night. My daughter has mild cerebral palsy and epilepsy but back then she loved it and there was never an accident but it would scare me to death. My father passed in 2005 and I kinda miss my daughter enjoying moments like that.
But I think as a parent everything involving you child or even other kids for that matter like that scares you for a second.
Be careful though if you child doesn't like it don't let it continue. And if you have a big problem with it express your feelings and put it to an end.

My husband does this all the time and I hate it Everytime! he has never dropped them or anything, but I dont want to take the chance.

Actually it's fun. But like you, that's a nervous thing to do and to see people doing that. You never know if there'll be an accident after the fun right? But if you really trust the person ..hmmmm nah, you still can't predict what will happen next even the person is an expert.
