AIBU to be just a little bit amused.......

DH and I were making lunch in the kitchen and DS was playing with his toys in the dining room. When we can back in to the living room, DS had been in there (the dining room and living room are joined by a door) and got one of those polystyrene boxes that an ornament had come in out of the cupboard (Christmas ornament so we were keeping the box!) and shredded it to make snow.

He was sitting on the floor with a look of utter joy on his face, throwing handfuls of polystyrene in the air, and said, "look Mummy, I made it snow!"

Now my DH was not overly impressed, I however thought it was actually rather amusing and really quite sweet.

So, am I being unreasonable not to be cross, and just a little bit amused, or is my DH being a grumpy pants?

Oh and DS had also taken off all his clothes and was sitting in the "snow" naked, which made it even funnier IMO

It depends. How old is your DS? If under 5, yes it was sweet. If he's in his teens, your DH may have a point.

Brilliant! Have you got a camcorder! Tell you DH if he doesn't lighten up - he'll be hoovering it up!!!!

YANBU to be amused... DH is BU for being a grumpy pants!

Speaking as a childminder... what a wonderful imagination your son has! Some of the best mess we have is after the best fun and learning experiences ever! It made your son happy, he is happily playing by himself, he is using his imagination... fantastic stuff Xmas Grin

This is what my DC used to refer to as a "happy mess"

Your H is BU. Unless your DS is 25 (and NT) or something.

He's four. I am still chuckling and have videoed and taken photos for posterity!

DH has now hoovered it up and cheered up although he still says he doesn't think it is funny. He didn't tell DS off now though, partly because I was crying with laughter so he'd have looked like a twat like the baddie!
