Heya just looking for input if I should keep just letting this go or wwyd?
My OH has a son aged 6 who seems to constantly slurp in some way.
When he eats he chews with his mouth open and slurps all around his cup when he drinks. A few times I've asked him to try and chew with his mouth closed (as it's something I would say to my son who is a bit older than him). I feel awkward and like I don't want to nag - so sometimes I eat at separate times to avoid it. When I had morning sickness the sounds would set me off.
He also slurps around his thumb/fingers all the time which grates on me because
- He ALWAYS forgets to wash his hands after the toilet (If I know he's gone to the loo I always tell him to go wash them). His lack of hand washing has led to at least 3 different poop incidents that I've had to clean up.
- He also has long hair which he chews and slurps on as well.
- Whether it's his hands or hair I can hear the slurping from 2 rooms away it's that loud.
- I have asked him a few times not to do it but he either ignores me or continues to do it louder and look to see if I'll react so I then ignore it.
It's got to the point where because it's so loud if he is upstairs for example I have to go downstairs to not hear it.
Would you ignore his behaviour and leave his dad to it (who doesnt seem bothered) or would you say something now and then? The thing is with my own son I would say something and tell him not to do those things. I'm having a baby with my OH And know I would do the same with her.
