I think I'm probably BU... Basically Monday is DH's day off, and he's at home with DS while I'm at work. He's not been well this week, so asked his Dad to come over thus afternoon for a couple of hours to help with DS who's 16 months and into everything.
He then felt worse, and decided to book a doctors appt for this evening, FIL agreed to stay and look after DS so he didn't have to take him. I phoned DH when I got to the train station to head home to see how his appointment had gone, and he mentioned that he'd left DS 'about to be bathed by grandpa'.
For some reason this makes me very uncomfortable, and I've no idea why. (Hence probably BU). I like FIL very much, DS knows him well and he goes out for walks with him, babysits very occasionally etc - but it would just never have occurred to me that anyone other than DH or I should give him a bath? Eg I'd never ask my own DM to, who also sees DS a lot. I'd just assume he'd have to wait til I got home, or bath would be foregone that night.
I think part of it is that FIL is getting on a bit, with a history of heart trouble, and I worry as much about him dropping a slippy wriggly toddler, or (God forbid) passing out while DS is in the bath as much as anything else.
Writing it down I sound barmy. IABU, aren't I?
