Is he really abusing the child or was this some sort of cultural thing? Because the mom took it at the end as though everything was normal.
I can't read any of the language in the title, comments or description.

Part of it is a cultural thing. My sister's mom (I have an incredibly weird family dynamic) was deported and then went back to Mexico and had kids there and the way they teach newborn care is completely different. As an American, we have a hugely different system that involves being much more gentle and time-consuming, whereas my sister's mom learned to be as efficient as possible. Both ways garnered the same results, it's just a huge cultural shock to see someone treating a baby so differently. When I as an American watched her take care of her kid, I mistook it for abuse the first time. However, when she saw me take care of her kid she thought I came across as inexperienced, un-assured and time consuming.
