Who's looking after the kids for you while you're out?

Holluschickie · 27/09/2025 17:32

Doesnt your husband mind you going away/ out without him?

When wearing a band t-shirt: “Can you even name 3 songs?”

MorphandMindy · 27/09/2025 17:31

I travel alone and sometimes might have dinner or drinks with people I meet. I always make it very clear that I am happily married and I get “and what does your husband think of you going out and talking to strangers on your own?”

(DH hates travelling like I do so he’s quite happy tbh.)

Dad is babysitting so you can go out?

Wow- dad got up with the kids so you can stay in bed an extra hour?

Isn’t your ex great having the kids overnight? (He had them one overnight every 3 weeks)

Are you okay? How are you feeling? What’s wrong? Do you have a problem? Anything I can do to help?

Pollqueen · 27/09/2025 17:30

You're glowing, are you pregnant/met a new man?

Not so much a question, but when it starts raining men never say ‘Oh no I’ve left the washing out!’

Who's looking after your kids while you're at work?

This was my first thought too!

Also, doesn’t your partner mind you going out with friends after work?

Why did you have DC if you want a career?
