to think its irresponsible for my OH to leave our 2 yr old downstairs on his own?

[YummyMummy1208]

Argh!

I'm so angry with him rite now and generally since our little boy was born cos he just has no clue how to watch him properly but if i ever have a go at him its 'oh shes off again...' and switches off.

Is this just a general 'men' thing??

Thismorning is a prime example, hes been taking over morning duties of late due to me being 7 month pregnant so thismorning he takes DS1 downstairs and then i can hear him saying 'So r u gonna stay downstairs and be a good boy while Daddy has a shower?' now forgive me if im being unreasonable but surely im not the only one here thinking you dont leave a 2.5 yr old downstairs - on his own - while u go upstairs to have a shower??

Whats everyones opinion on this one - Am i being unreasonable to have a go at OH??

"yes im insane and an unfit mother" At least you can admit it!

I love these threads.

yea yea...whatever u say no sugar.

Blah Blah...anyone else??

Actually it's NoSugar

Like Glenn Close in 'Fatal Attraction'

'Your poor children'.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Sod off and whinge to your girly pals.

Come back when you're more adult.

OMG she's back. It's like the end of a bad horror movie where the baddie just. won't. die.

Stop Letting it bother you so much and ignore the thread.
The more you comment the more you are gonna seem like you are enjoying the bitching.

Act like the adult and bow out gracefully. Then go and sit down with your partener and make use of some of the advice you HAVE received on here.

OMG - why did I have to choose today to actually get off my arse and do some jobs - missed all the fun, but skim read the entire thread - great laugh!

I have discovered what a bunch of knob heads u lot on this forum actually are and will stick to the other ones

Promises promises!!

Laxi-daisy

In answer to your question OP, yes you are being unreasonable. (unless of course your DS has been left downstairs with a box of matches and given the kitchen knives to play with).

YABa bitU, but its only my biased opinion.

Our house is a real building project, we keep dangerous tools and chemicals locked away but there are trip hazards etc. Son has been trained how to behave safely.

My hubby (full time stay at home dad) leaves our son downstairs alone all the time and he's fine, calls or comes up to find us if there is a problem.

Son is happy and confident and independent as a result of his "me" time.

My mum watched me like a hawk as a child and as a result I was terrified of everything.

Pmsl! will you girls stop making me laff I was trying to make a serious point to the OP lol

Just goes to show how some people just don't understand (despite the warning at the top) AIBU: that you might post and people will think you are being unreasonable especially if you are. Most people realsie that when there is 90+% agreement that YABU, then probably you are

There has been a lot of construcitve suggestions on how to address what are probably (in as much as any anonymous posters in the internet can infer) what are much more serious issues that need to be addressed.

The thing about the text speak is a distraction: however, someone made the very valid point that you use the "vernacular" of the forum you are in - and within Mumsnet, text speak is seen as irritating. Adults, or at least educated ones, understand that and adjust their speech (or writing) as appropriate.

By the same token, ds, age 9, is already being nagged about certain wrong irritating "West of Scotland-isms" (eg "I seen" instead of "I saw" or "I have went" instead of "I have gone"). He can speak how he likes with his friends, but with us - and other adults - he must speak properly.

The other thing that yummymummy doesn't seem to have registered/cottoned on (if she stayed longer, she might find out) is that very few of us are "bored housewifes". Many of us work "outside the home", many ofus full-time, as well as being the best possible parents (Mums and Dads) we can be (even though we still mae mistakes - which is why we come on here to ask for advice 1!) all the time

It is a shame that this has turned out so badly for you.

You have had a LOT of good advice here. If you ignore the piss-taking (and you are not quite blameless either) then you might actually find some ways of resolving your problems with your DH.

I do believe that you and your DH need to sit down, have a cup of tea/beer/glass of wine and talk this over. Tell him that you realise that you over react, and try to find if there is a reason for this. Are you generally an anxious person?

OI.

I was being nice and supportive. Stop taking the piss for one minute and READ MY POST, woman.

and to think u guys actually think u r mature adults.

i am done with talking sense on this thread so apologies for any 'normal' responses coming in now, iv just had enough of the bullying and trying to take the piss.
hence my sarcasm.

will go elsewhere for advice if i need any more.

y you think i would actually listen and be grateful to such horrible people like urselves is unbeknown to me. (again, not all of u, just the idiotic ones).

so thanks for ... nothing i guess.

oh I am disappointed that we weren't called a nest of vipers

And they all lived happily ever after...

The End

Your very welcome

Don't let the open safety gate hit you in the ass on the way out

...oh please, dont stop - ur amusing me too much

Can I nominate this thread for classics pleeeeeeeeeeaase
