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

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??

thats becos most of their 'victims' would have scuttled off to a corner by now. y the heck should i?

i did take in the decent responses altho u lot clearly cannot read as u keep repeating that i havent. i even came bak at one point saying thanks for the suggestions but all u keep doing now is trying to make me feel as tho all this bullying going on is down to me - just like a bully would do to their victim. makes perfect sense now.

this is a lions den and i just walked into it and refused to be eaten. get over it guys u didnt win this time. shame

Starlight
you are correct. That is exactly what I did after my first flaming. Went away, came back and lurked for a while before posting again.

YummyMummy
You are really not doing yourself any favours. Why you keep persisting is a mystery to me.

Morloth · 05/08/2010 19:51

LOL, I wonder who will get the last word in? Threads die at 1,000 posts don't they?

MilkNoSugarPlease · 05/08/2010 19:52

for someone who keeps talking about going somewhere else and not asking on here again...your doing an awful lot of posting and not buggering off tbh

Morloth- 1001 i believe...race ya

colditz · 05/08/2010 19:53

"nd here i c u all r, still having fun trying to make other people feel crap.

U lot really r bored housewives rnt u?

I have mentioned this area 'AIBU' on a few other topics now and most of them all agree u lot on here really dont actually put in any useful comments, just take joy in upsetting the OP. Well what ever floats ur boat.

Now u can carry on saying how i must be at home ear bashing my OH by now and oh that poor bloke and yes im insane and an unfit mother...but at least i dont neglet my child unlike most of u on this thread.

Your poor children."

You sound absolutely bloody mental

However, you are 7 months pregnant, and at 7 months pregnant with a two year old to care for I was absolutely bloody mental too, so I'll let you off.

I hope you calm down before you give yourself blood pressure problems.

TonariNoTotoro · 05/08/2010 19:54

Yes, but txt spk makes you look like a twt!

Morloth · 05/08/2010 19:57

I don't have that kind of attention span MilkNoSugarPlease.

YummyMummy1208 · 05/08/2010 20:00

and sitting on forums all day trying to insult people makes u look like a twat - a very bored twat at that.

I came on wanting a bit of a moan and for someone to just agree with me so i can get on with my day, moan over. instead i get a bunch of idiots trying to call me a twat cos i abreviate - y would i want to spend twice as long typing out each word in full cos u lot r brain dead and cant read??

get a fricking life please

YABU. But only coz I've done this myself.

Mine and DD's (2.11) sunday morning ritual is I shove peppa pig in the dvd player for her to watch as she eats her breakfast, while I have a bubble bath. She stays there rooted to the spot while I soak in the bath for a good half hour.

I occasionally yell down to her she yells back to tell me to shut up I'm interupting peppa. The bathroom door is left open incase she needs me.

Think you should lay off your OH tbh. How would you feel if he told you he thought you incompetant to look after your own son?

unfitmother · 05/08/2010 20:04

I'm fucking furious!
How dare OP call herself an unfitmother?
An unfitmutha I could have coped with.

TonariNoTotoro · 05/08/2010 20:05

haha, spacehopper - have you got a 2yo??

finally someone who makes sense out of my point - thanks spacehopper.

I find it funny how wen u all try to take the piss out of my typing u r using abreviations i have and never use - 'Nd nt type lyk a fckin moron' sorry but this isnt how i type. ill make it easier for u brain dead people:

u - You
r = Are
ur = your or You're
y = Why

and so on and so forth. this make it easier for u people to read??

i dont use, 'nt' or 'nd' or 'lyk'. Get it rite if u intend to try humiliate me.

And regarding the ur making it worse for urself comment - do u actually think all this crap is having any effect on my life or how i feel today? Im now just finding it amusing watching u all try and belittle me with it failing badly as i sit back and laugh.

I am acting very immature i know, but its purely so the target audience can understand thats all.

This is ironic, as I am usually accused of being grossly under-protective, yet I am almost in the YANBU camp. Just because I couldn't hear DC well enough when I was in the shower, not sure I'd chance taking one when they were awake.

As a result I don't take many showers.

Ah, so that would explain my problems with body odour .

Well, you can't please everybody, can ya'?

ChippingIn · 05/08/2010 20:11

i am done with talking sense on this thread

I read through the whole thread and I missed the bit where she started 'talking sense'?? Damn it, must pay more attention.

ilovemydogandMrObama · 05/08/2010 20:12

Haven't read thread, but just wondering if the plural of 'forum' is 'fora?' Not forums?
