The Mumsnet Guide to Caring for Your Child's Teeth. How much fluoride should a child have? What will cause the most damage - chocolate or raisins? Is fruit juice ok? For the truth about what will and won't cause decay to top tips for reluctant brushers, fill in your gaps on dental hygiene here.
Last night he made a big song and dance about washing up, because he hates the new tap (tough, he wouldn't get involved with choosing the kitchen so his hard luck if he doesn't like the result).
Today, he did reluctantly come with me and dd to the supermarket, but parked himself in front of the magazines so I have to push the wretched trolley and dd around (I'm 19 weeks pg). We get home and he starts whining about 'what's for supper' and got pissy when I said I was feeding dd first and if he wanted supper fast, then he could cook it, which he declined to do. I'm sorting tea and he gets squeamish about cleaning up dd after she did a mega snotty sneeze. He manages to get dd all wound up and hyper, then leaves me to get her to bed. Gggggrrrrrrrrr
Oh, and when I commented that I'm knackered, he says "so why did you get pg again?" Like he wasn't involved in that.
Give him a slap. Then go out tomorrow and leave him with dd for the whole day while you go have a pamper session. Then when he moans he is tired say "see and you are not even pg". YANBU.
I like the suggestion, Singyswife, but his idea of childcare is to stick dd in her playpen. When she gets bored and screams, he retreats to office and shuts the door. If she's quiet, I wouldn't put it past him to forget she's there, and go out.
Confine yourself to bedrest! Tell him its doctors orders as you have a pregnancy related condition. Leave him to sort himself out, whilst you snuggle up with lots of cups of tea and a pile of magazines for a couple of days.
I know, Mumbot, but he lived with his mother for longer than he's lived with me
Actually, minou, I did explain that to him in similar terms... he went bright red and ran away, lol. And you should have seen his face when I suggested he have a vasectomy if he doesn't want to use little rubber things in future
My great-granny did that, fanjolina. In fact, it worked for her so well that apparently she stayed in bed for the next 30 or so years. I'm not kidding - my mum doesn't remember ever seeing her nan out of bed, and has no idea what her ailment was.
