AIBU?

To be Very Pissed Off at My Dad for Bringing a Lovely Baby Toy Around?

It's a lovely Butterfly Mobile, but I just know that my Mum put him up to it. He'd never manage to buy something that nice by himself. The other day he tried to buy me a Baby Monitor. HE KNEW that I bought one months ago, I showed him and everything.

Plus I'm 7 months pregnant already and he knows that I'm a very organised person, I never would have left it so late to buy such an essential piece of baby equipment.

Honestly, he's useless and so unsupportive! He's been on and on at me my whole pregnancy because he doesn't approve of me becoming a single mother. I just wish he'd shut up about it.

Tony is a lovely father, Helen Archer, and you are completely out of order. If your luck in getting the flat from dear Chris Carter were not enough, you have been given a job at Ambridge Organics by your lovely mum Pat, and jumped the queue at the Borsetshire AI clinic, when other more deserving characters (eg Auntie Chris and Lynda Snell) are still infertile.

Your behaviour to Annette was little short of stalking, and I feel you ought to know - the person who impregnated her was - your occassional bed partner, Leon.

So there.

Now apologise to Tony, and keep a low profile. Baby Cheesus will be loved by his grandfathe

But what if something terrible happens to your mum on Jan 2nd? I think you need to relax and enjoy the present.

Mind boggling at the thought of Auntie Chris at the Borsetshire AI clinic - she's not far off 90, isn't she?

Who thinks Helen's going to eat the placenta?

How can Cheesemaker relax and enjoy her dad's present? She's given way far enough to agree to go to her Mum's on Christmas Eve. She'll have to worry about that now, not least what to eat (or not) while she's there.

We never used our baby monitor once, baby was in our room for ages.

Baby was born at 7.5 months and we didn't have anything apart from too big clothes. My OH was panic buying in mothercare and the staff there were asking 'whens it due?' and he had to say, 'its here now'. Terrible.

Don't worry. I'm sure you've got a lovely GBF who, despite you treating him as badly as you treat everyone else around you, will drop everything else at his busiest time of year and paint your nursery, many months before the baby will actually need it.

ooh OP- what JenaiMarr said upthread, which totally passed me by at the time

...why on earth do you require a steriliser for a baby that will no doubt be attached to your tits full time for at least the next 5 years?

Could come in handy for BM cheesemaking, Jack. All organic and everything.

It's to sterilise the baby, silly. Helen's very fussy about germs and babies are well-known repositories of germs.

That reminds me - today I saw a washing machine with a "baby cycle". Sounds much easier than bathing them!

LondonMother - no doubt about it, cheesemaker will definately eat the placenta. But I very much doubt we will hear it. Ugh, the thought of listening to placenta munching has turned my stomach.

And that's why the steriliser box was so big...

Anyways, it's already been decided on the other thread - cheesemaker will turn into Carrie.

Where's the other thread? If I'm going to listen to the bloody thing I may as well try to understand what the hell is happening.

YABVU, When I had my children ny parents bought things together, There wouldn't have been one present from my dad and another one from my Mum.
He asked you about the baby monitor he probably didn't remember that you had already bought one. Give you Dad some slack he tries to make an efort and you just moan about him and how useles he is, I would be devestated if one of my girls did this to DH or me.
