I could use your opinion as to whether you think I have a problem or whether you think I'm right to be annoyed.
My other half is terrible at keeping his germs to himself, every cold, bug he gets he passes on to myself and our baby. I know- you're thinking yep that's normal. And I know it is. But his efforts at keeping his germs to himself are pretty much zero.
He came down with another full blown head cold last week and so I kept his contact with DD to a minimum and ran around like something gone mad, doing everything myself to reduce the chances of DD getting it. The short periods of time my DH had my DD whilst I.cooked, I constantly had to get on at him about washing his hands after blowing his nose before touching her etc. Then I walked in and he was kissing her ggrr.
So after a week of me doing bath time, bedtime, morning feeds, dressing and changing in a bid to keep her away from his germs, she's caught it anyway.
Darling DH is fast asleep as he has work tomorrow and I've been up with a very poorly DD since her bedtime, which was 7pm. Yawn.
DH just says 'ah well she's bound to catch things' fair enough she is. But when he makes no effort whatsoever to keep his germs away, I feel so annoyed. Yet again, it's me having to look after our daughter while he rests.
He never washes his hands after blowing his nose, kisses her when he's ill, lets her lick his disgusting, germ covered fingers, leaves his dirty tissues lying around. I'm so annoyed that she keeps catching his colds and bugs (he's had a lot this year) and fed up of getting on at DH all the time. I wash my hands all the time (too much) and perhaps have a problem where germs are concerned but I'm so angry he's passed his germs on again. Is this ridiculous?!
