Weeing in front of baby

My husband said he has a stand up wee in front of our baby. Am I being unreasonable for telling him not to?

It's better than leaving a young baby unattended

😆 thanks for the laugh, op

Babies learn from example- knowing about using the toilet is a positive.

Pandasnacks · 20/12/2024 17:24

Would it be better for you if it was a sit down wee?? This is daft.

What is the issue?? Will your husband never get naked in front of your child?

Edited

Would that be the worst thing in the world?

Maddest thread on mumsnet for a long while.

This.

I had to go number 2 with my baby in a sling many times!! This is a strange thread!

Enigma52 · 20/12/2024 17:21

😂😂 oh crikey!

Nodlikeyouwerelistening · 20/12/2024 17:21

Watching mum and dad wee (and the other bodily function) is actually a great way of normalizing it for the child when you come to potty training. Wee and poo has to be not a big deal “look, we all do it” sort of thing for the best success.

YABU

And good luck with the kid not joining you in the bathroom for the next 8 years...

Stillherestillpraying · 20/12/2024 17:21

If he is out with the baby and needs the toilet he will have to. Just as you would have to!

At home there is of course no need. That is what the bathroom door is for.

EnjoythemoneyJane · 20/12/2024 17:20

This can’t be real 🙄

SlightDrip · 20/12/2024 17:20

Are you going to make your baby face the door and cover its eyes when you change a tampon???

Mademetoxic · 20/12/2024 17:19

AIBU for saying 'baby' instead of THE baby...

ShortyShorts · 20/12/2024 17:18

Lol

DaisyCottonClock · 20/12/2024 17:17

Is there a reason you think this is a problem?

DarkAndTwisties · 20/12/2024 17:16

Hoppinggreen · 20/12/2024 17:08

Is his aim so bad its a concern?

🤣

OP this doesn't bother me at all

YADNBU OP

I for one don’t tolerate lavatorial faux pas

MajorCarolDanvers · 20/12/2024 17:15

What on earth is your issue?

sanityisamyth · 20/12/2024 17:15

And?! Unless you have a urinal in your bathroom he should be sitting down to wee anyway, but not sure what the baby has to do with it?!

Commenting to be notified of the OP's attempted justification!

I don’t predict there will be.

randomchap · 20/12/2024 17:12

Could you explain your concerns? I can't see how it's an issue

MooseAndSquirrelLoveFlannel · 20/12/2024 17:12

Yes, you are unreasonable.

Wait till they can toddle about, you'll never get a minutes peace in the bathroom ever again!!
