He's an oddball. I wouldn't care though as it'd mean more chocolate for me!

CloudsAndTrees · 18/05/2013 14:09

I'd find it odd, but people can be as odd as they like when it comes to what they put in their own mouths. It's nothing to do with anyone else.

DameFanny · 18/05/2013 14:09

He's a freak. What sort of chocolate?

BarredfromhavingStella · 18/05/2013 14:10

Your DH is being ridiculous-I share bags of chocolate/sweets with the woman sat at the side of me at work never mind DC & DH!!

likesnowflakesinanocean · 18/05/2013 14:10

glad its not just me thinking that. he will quite happily eat a takeaway made by a stranger but not get a sweet out of the bag his dcs have been putting hands in.

That's madness. Assuming you kiss and "the other" (!) ?? Lots more germs being transferred there!!

FunnysInLaJardin · 18/05/2013 14:11

He's odd - but what a bonus - all the more for you

Punkatheart · 18/05/2013 14:12

What is the 'other' Fairylea? It has been so long.

squoosh · 18/05/2013 14:13

I think it's a bit odd.

Does he know how many paws will have manhandled his food before it's brought to him in a restaurant.

Some people are just very germphobic.

likesnowflakesinanocean · 18/05/2013 14:13

chucks around mishapes loads going spare

OP posts:

Remotecontrolduck · 18/05/2013 14:13

He is weird, that's your family! He sounds like a bit of a germ-a-phobe!

likesnowflakesinanocean · 18/05/2013 14:15

thats what i always say, you dont know whos making your curry or pizza or whats happened to it. he has some odd ways and for someone who moans about germs hes an untidy git

OP posts:

Jinty64 · 18/05/2013 14:18

Ds2 (15) is like this and we think he is veerrrry odd!

likesnowflakesinanocean · 18/05/2013 14:19

it drives me mad, strange fella

OP posts:

miffybun73 · 18/05/2013 14:27

Definitely weird

likesnowflakesinanocean · 18/05/2013 14:29

they are so nice too he really is missing out i think its the suprise element that does it. hell i might even dunk them in my tea

OP posts:

Naoko · 18/05/2013 14:33

Definitely weird. Presumably he's been known to touch you or you wouldn't have DC :o so I'm not sure what good he's going to do by not sharing biscuits...

likesnowflakesinanocean · 18/05/2013 14:40

. its not like the dc are filthy either they are actually quite clean

OP posts:

IcingTheCake · 18/05/2013 14:41

Yabvu! Never share chocolate

He is quite strange though, my OH's brother is a bit like this but only if he isn't sure who's touched it... Your DP clearly has never seen a takeaway's kitchen

phantomnamechanger · 18/05/2013 14:51

that's very odd, especially in the close relationships or parent and child - my kids and I share biscuits we have been biting FGS! and drink from the same cup - does he have a thing about obsessive handwashing? - will he hold the DC hands or yours? shake hands with strangers? what about door handles in public places etc? or buffets - how does he cope there ?

do you think he has OCD?

likesnowflakesinanocean · 18/05/2013 14:52

i know we should do a walk around and see whats dirtier, then again it might put me off takeaway
