How would you respond to this?
A thread has reminded me about a time I asked dp to look after our dtwins when they were young, about 3.
I wanted to get a haircut so asked dp to look after them for about an hour. He initially agreed but just before I was leaving the twins started squabbling. I calmed them down and was about to leave. One twin then took a toy the other wanted and they were off again. I asked dp to settle them as I needed to leave.
He looked horrified and then said I'm not a mummy you are! I don't know how to stop them. He then claimed it was too stressful for him to look after them and so I called the hairdressers and cancelled.
Ended up having a haircut at home with the twins playing around my feet/sat on my lap, whilst dp was at work.
What would you have said/done if that was said to you?
