Dp is lovely in most ways. He has a bad habbit which is scratching his balls. He only does it when we are at home alone.
It never really bothered me before. Dp washes his hands before cooking/eating.
We now have have a 9 month old ds. I have said to dp that I don't think it is a good idea for him ( dp) to scratch his balls when ds is in the room as he will pick up this habbit.
I dont understand how he came to have this habbit as his mother was very strict about manners when dp was growing up. I feel like a nagging mother by saying "dp hands out of your pants please) constantly. I am tempted to call mil and ask her what she did when he was young ( hopefully that threat would encourage dp to stop)
I don't think dp is always aware of what he is doing, it's like a compulsion.
I grew up without a father so I'm not sure what consists of normal male behavior and what is a bit strange.
Aibu to ask dp not to scratch his balls when ds is in the room?
