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??

Doesn't anyone use a play pen any more?

Or are they out of fashion, like child reins?

2.5 would be too old to use a playpen anyway.

And reins aren’t out of fashion either Confused

YANBU. Going upstairs for a jumper, fair enough. Going upstairs for a shower, absolutely not. Totally irresponsible.
