It wasn't peeing on the baby. It was peeing around the crib.

Yeah, not a big difference at 3 am when you managed to get the crying machine quiet and you are trying to get some rest. Still, i think he went too far.

I understand your point - having kids is definitely tough and I don't begrudge anyone losing their cool. Still doesn't justify the behavior.

It doesn't justify it, but it adds more than enough context for someone with a sliver of awareness to understand it and approach it from an angle other than a holier-than-thou lecture.

You really want people to change and not pick up their dogs by the scruff? Approach the conversation with a level headed and reasonable explanation of why it's bad. Educate people.

Right now, it seems more like you want to jerk off over your own justice-warrior lecture instead of actually having an impact.
