DH and I saw (don't ask me why or how....) a programme with Scary Spice several years ago where she did the same thing.

DH kept reminding me of it when DD was a baby.

wiped his own hands in order to 'wash' them i mean. not the baby's hands.

That's all you have to shiver about, I've seen lots worse and no I wouldn't come on AIBU to tell all.
Maybe it would be better in chat!

what's with people being arsey? why shouldn't she post on AIBU? is it reserved for high priority posts or something?

lose the LOL though. I am in disguise at the moment and today I will become the LOL avenging angel. That makes me shudder.

No it's not reserved for high end debates but the fact that MN towers have moved the options from the talk bar because of this shows that enough people have complained of late at the topics in AIBU.

Can we have spcial badges for everyone who does AIBU Top Trumps with 'is that all you've got to worry about?' posts?

It is manky OP. Back in the day my Pony Club manual was very clear on the order of wiping and the importance of different sponges. If it's good enough for horse's arses, it should be good enough for babies Grin. Who wouldn't know enough to not wipe eyes with bum cloths?

Chat option has gone from the talk bar too. Does that mean people have been complaining about that as well? Hmm

knitted just to satisfy rocker would you consider changing your title to include the question AIBU to think this is yuk just to make sure you are ticking all the relevant AIBU criteria boxes?



my break wasn't nearly long enough.

knitted my name change is for a secret but altruistic reason Wink.
I am going to keep it for today and be the LOL avenger. I am not generally rude or controversial I don't think.

tis rather odd and disgusting perhaps they were running low on wet wipes, so close to pay day, and therefore rationing the use of wipes?

However, I was once told that wiping a wet nappy on a childs face is good for the skin, wtf? Did anyone ever do that??? Disclaimer: I certainly did not.
